English is easier than Latin by a huge margin. The fact that you seem to have problems with learning English does not make Latin easier.
English is a notably difficult language. Tons of loanwords, complicated rules, extensive modifiers - but it's very expressive. Tradeoffs. Learning languages other than your native is it's own can of worms. You mentioned words that sound the same to you, but to native english speakers they're clear as day and mean entirely different things (though, things like then/than your/you're are commonly miswritten)and we'd find the same in your language (and every other). Sometimes, there may even be physiological differences between populations that account for these troubles, particularly in the development of the inner ear.
