5 Things that I think are difficult in English.

1) Prepositions

It's hard for me to imagine understand the concepts of prepositions because I don't use prepositions in Japanese.

2) Conjunctions

I think I tend to use "so" frequently...because there's a similar word in Japanese.

3) Pronunciation
I find pronunciation difficult, especially the "V", "R", "L" and "W" sounds, and vowels. We Japanese only has 5 vowel sounds but English has more vowels.

4) Stress, intonation and rhythm.

I believe these things will make my English more fluently if I can master them. get it

5) Collocations

6)Phrasal verbs...
Look after /look ahead/look around/look at / look back/look down at/ look for/ look forward to/ look into/ look like/ look over/ look through/ look up
oh...too many!!

7) Idioms

8) the rest of 1)--7)

It is important to know conceptually what a preposition does and does not do when studying. For example: In, on, at for times and dates: at - used for clock times (at 4:00, at midnight, at noon) and "around" (at Christmas time) on - used for days (on January 1st, on Christmas day, on Friday, on the weekend) in - used for just about everything else (in summer, in the morning, in November) By understanding what they handle as a whole, you can also see the exceptions and study those individually. 前置詞の勉強頑張ってください！

Japanese has 助詞（「が、に、へ、で、から」などがあります, called particles in English, which are conceptually like prepositions except they come "after," so you can call them "postpositions." These are also hard for learners of Japanese.

私は日本語を勉強しので、これは面白いと思います… It is interesting to see what is difficult for others. I never thought 'verb phrases are hard', but now that I see how you wrote it, I think 'oh! That is hard!' Idioms are difficult. There are so many and I think sometimes English speakers can't explain what they mean, but they know when to say it. Does Japanese have idioms too?
