TO FIND IT DIFFICULT

Good morning. I hope you had a good weekend. Every language has commonly-used expressions. However, when we want to use these expressions in a different language, it is not always possible to translate the expressions word-for-word. We have to learn new combinations of words to express the idea. Today we're going to look at an example of this. Today's expressions is: to find it difficult/hard to do something. You can also say to have difficulty doing something. (Note: You can't use the word hard to replace difficulty because hard is an adjective and difficulty is a noun.) It means: "Costarle hacer algo." As you can see, in English this expression DOES NOT include the verb "cost." Example 1: I find it difficult to remember new expressions, so I try to write example sentences whenever I can. OR I have difficulty remembering new expressions, so I try to write example sentences whenever I can. Example 2: She found it very hard to leave her job, but once she had, she was much happier. OR She had difficulty leaving her job, but once she had, she was much happier. You can adapt these expressions to express the opposite idea --> that something is easy. Examples: i) Children often find it easy to pronounce foreign languages well. ii) Children don't often find it difficult to pronounce foreign languages well. iii) Children often have no difficulty pronouncing foreign languages well. If you find it difficult to understand these expressions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Have a great day!
