- That sentence is natural to me. - Not grammatical
- That sentence sounds natural to me. - Correct
These two sentences *don't* mean the same thing (also, note the correction in asterisks):
- The English language is difficult *for* me. {This means "I'm studying English but I find it hard/difficult.}
- The English language sounds difficult to me. {This implies "I've heard (from other people's experience) that English is difficult (but I don't have first-hand knowledge that this is true.}

I think, that "The English language is difficult to me" is right
