I'd say the exact opposite! English is known as one of the easiest languages by far, with the exception of the pronunciation, still it's not even a big problem. Especially grammar, conjugation are easy as pie compared to any other language. Almost no variant (conjugation), no accord (adjective, articles, etc), not even a gender for each and every noun!

Look at this for example (just a conjugation example):

I think
You think
He/She thinks
We think
You think
They think

French:
Je crois
Tu crois
Il/elle croit
Nous croyons
Vous croyez
Ils croient

Not to mention that it's totally different if you use future:
Je croirai
Tu croiras
Il/elle croira
Nous croirons
Vous croirez
Ils croiront

Compare in English:
I will think
You will think
He/She will think
We will think
You will think
They will think

Or pasts (imparfait.... :
Je croyais
Tu croyais
Je croyait
Nous croyions
Vous croyiez
Ils croyaient

...and passé simple):
Je crus
Tu crus
Il/elle crut
Nous crûmes
Vous crûtes
Ils crurent

English (same for both!):
I thought
You thought
He/she thought
We thought
You thought
They thought

Still something totally different in subjonctif, subjonctif futur, subjonctif passé, conditionnel and lots more while there's no change at all in English! And I'm not talking about the 3 different groups of verbs (that vary forms) and all the exceptions!

Talk about an encouragement for you to learn French
