It's okay, informal English is harder than formal English, which is already one of the hardest languages. You'll get there buddy.

English is not one of the hardest languages, otherwise people wouldn’t use it as a Lingua Franca. 90% of English is pretty easy (we barely even conjugate and have basically two cases, which can always be declined the same way, with only remnants of a third in personal pronouns), and the last 10% is mostly unnecessary (though it is much more difficult).

It’s entirely reasonable to make mistakes or have difficulties with English, and absolutely nobody should feel bad about it, but it’s not really a hard language in the way that Polish is, for example. Even that’s subjective: Polish is probably pretty easy to learn if your native language is Czech.
