It's probably not among the hardest set of phonemes to learn among
world languages, but it's not among the simplest either. For example,
for Spanish speakers the b/v, s/z and c/j distinctions are hard. Not that
they are impossible to learn, but for those not familiar with a language
that has them, they are not at all easy. Keeping b/d/g always as plosives
and not fricativizing them is also hard.
