I remember what my english professor once told us for his instruduction with our English subject.... THAT ENGLISH IS A CRAZY LANGUAGE, which happens to be true... not TRICKY but CRAZY... why crazy???? there's the prepositons,conjuctions, conjugations, also the tenses and the paragraphs and diction and pronounciations name it and english do have all the crazinness in a language.
exquisitely tricky ,like strip teaser ..tantalizing you alll from top to the toe
All languages are tricky when people start learning them.the origin of languages isn't a set of rulesbut the rules are changeable as people change the way of using it.Think of the rules of sign language .Are there any rules there? is it used in Europe or the USA as it is used in Africa?it is different of course.
English isn't that hard actually. If you don't learn the language, you are not qualified to teach it. simple as that.
Don't think negatively about it, everyone gets frustrated learning a whole new language, but it is just a period of time that will pass the deeper you go into the language. Think positively, and do your best. A book doesn't teach you much, but PRACTICING the langage does. Try to speak it as much as you can.. try to read stories, and record yourself so you know what you did wrong while reading so you fix it.
Don't give up, and work hard.. you will get there.. I did, and so can you! (English is not my first language) :)
Good luck!

I say a prayer each day giving thanks that I was born English! If I had had to learn it as a foreign language I would have given up long ago! You all have my greatest respect.
