It depends on your background too.
For example, for people from Western Europe it is easier to learn English, German, Spanish, Italian, French then for other people. I know for sure that for Swedish people it is a lot easier to learn English than for Bulgarians. They also start to learn the language at earlier age.

What I said applies to adults and languages that are not similar to our mother tongue.
