Different people different difficulties I know. But I live in a family where the members have been forced to change from one language to another for their daily use, so I think I have some experiences.

1. For adults pronounciation is hard to learn. Personally I never learn to pronounce a trilled "r" - no way!

2. Irregularities like change of a vokal etc.

3. Spelling especially double consonants or not phonetic spelling etc. Some of os even have a hard time spelling our mother tongue.

4. Correct use of prepositions. My wife never learn it - never!

5. Word order. It seems like a lot of people can't get rid of the habits from their mother tongue.
