Au contraire! English spelling and/or pronunciation is horrible to learn.
Russian is very simple.
Russian grammar is a nightmare.
Five cases (six if you include - Bozhe Moje! - the Vocative, which has admittedly pretty much died out [but is still alive and well in the sister Slavic languages of the Balkans]).
Then, three genera (masculine, feminine, neutral - granted, the word ending usually reveals clues as to the respective genus) and two numeri (singular and plural).
One also has to differentiate between animate and inanimate objects.
How do you say, "I need one hundred and two books" in Russian? How do you say, "I need the one hundred and second book" in Russian?
This explains why Russian - when translated literally into English - usually sounds so coarse and impolite: The Russian language forces speakers to be blunt.
If the Russian speaker were to instead employ all of the little polite words and verb forms his language theoretically allows, the resulting sentences would be nightmarishly difficult to formulate!

Spelling is hard. I find that I am constantly googling for the proper spelling of a word. Spell checkers have been a gift to writing. Vocabulary is also hard. There are so many words to choose from. I was fortunate to read National Review and Bill Buckley for many years. It expanded my vocabulary.
This teacher is a pathetic example of how whites, particularly women, have been brain washed by CRT nonsense. The scam is to lower standards so blacks don’t fail. Asian students thoroughly undermine the white supremacy meme. She’s a gullible fool.
