Are different languages easier to learn for each person?

I had less difficulty learning Spanish than I did with Hebrew.

of course.
i've only studied one foreign language, Italian. it was an introductory course, but i still found it very easy because my native languages are Spanish, then English, and the similarities between the former and Italian were jarring. so many cognates.
i had some trouble with the sounds not found in (Mexican) Spanish or English, like gl [ʎ]
