sure there is. It'd be the same if it was you trying to formulate a coherent sentence in danish.
I don't care if I'm trying to formulate a coherent danish sentence with Christie Yamaguchi! You don't speak unless you know what you're saying.
Sure you do, if the message is understood, who's to complain? It's not everyone who can have your "oh-so-perfect-and-flawless-grammar-and-spelling" Take a look at WBAM, he couldn't spell shit if his life depended on it. But it's not that bad. Because people (usually) understand the message he's trying to convey.
Why is this any different?

And what makes Danish harder? Serious question.
Well, there are several reasons. Some of which will most likely seem stupid to you, but no less true.
Verbs with more than one meaning, pronounciation, syntax, stuff like that.
To be completely honest, you as an american and english speaking individual would find it more difficult to learn danish than a german would.
A small example. My sisters name is Katrine. The last part "ne" is the problem. It seems easy enough, but the problem is because you've spoken english your entire life you'll find it difficult, if not downright impossible to pronounce it.
You'll most likely end up saying "Katrina" which is wrong.
Obviously when I say "you" I don't mean you as individual, but you as in americans in general.
But as you've already noted, I've got a difficult expressing myself with correct grammar
Oh, and
edit: don't get upset because of me saying that you'll have a hard time learning danish.
It's not really you there's something wrong with, it's the danish language there's something wrong with.
