why it may be difficult for an adult to learn to speak English?

Answer 1

because they have already spent a long time speaking a different language and starting a new one this far along would be more difficult if it had been when they were younger....

Answer 2

Now it is not difficult...!A decade ago to learn English, you had to attend costly English classes or purchase course material like tapes and books. Now you can learn English for free from the comfort of your home using the Internet. The BBC and the British Council offer a number of on line courses, which teach written and spoken English. You can also improve your English by watching television programs and reading English newspapers. For more information, visit http://tinyurl.com/qnzpt
