No. While challenging, German is not considered the most difficult language to learn. That honour often goes to Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and others. Sharing an alphabet helps language learners taking an immersive German course to grasp reading and writing quickly.
Generally speaking, learning a new language is always challenging. Of course, German has a long list of pronouns, specific vocab, and harsh pronunciation. However, there are plenty of similarities between English and German which make up for the differences. You will find that besides sharing a huge chunk of vocabulary, English has approximately 80% of phrases that come from German origin.
