In all honesty, English is not an easy language. Many words have silent letters like 'would' (you don't pronounce the [l]), which is pronounced the same as wood.
It gets more difficult with words like 'vague' or 'colonel' (pronounced 'vayg' or 'Kurnul')

You will get better with practice, don't worry : ) I'm sure you will get the hang of it.

I've been studying Japanese for many years now, and I still barely have a grasp on their language, so you're not alone.

@The_Adjudicator thank you !! I never realized how hard second languages can be - Ive been learning for 3 years now and im still stuck on the duplicate sounding words ( I do not remember the term for them right now) like the their , there , they're. It's confusing °△°

@Keichu
That's okay, a lot of native English speakers get those wrong as well. XD

If it helps, think of them this way:
they - thei - their (used when addressing who is the owner. IE:[I like their painting])
they are - they're (used as conjugation. IE:[They are great artists - They're great artists])
here - there (used to address location. IE:[The painting is posted over there])

Don't worry too much about using them correctly. People can know the difference by context.
You're doing great.
