What actually makes a language easier/harder to learn?

It’s like learning to ride a bike, some bikes are easier to balance on than others.

Languages have rules, just like bikes have wheels and handles. If the rules are simple, like having only two colors of handlebars, it's easier to learn. But if there are many rules, like different colors for each hand, and you need to remember them all, that’s harder.

Words in a language can be like different kinds of bikes. Some languages have words that sound just like the things they mean, like "cat" sounds like a cat. That's easy. But some languages have words that are totally made up, and you need to memorize them all, like learning 10 different names for the same kind of bike.

Grammar is like how you move your hands on the bike. In some languages, you just say things in order, "I eat apple." In others, you have to switch around the words like gears, "Apple I eat."

So, a language is easier or harder based on its rules, how words work, and how grammar moves everything around, just like bikes are easier or harder to ride depending on their parts! It’s like learning to ride a bike, some bikes are easier to balance on than others.
