hedwards: The big difficulty IMHO is getting the cases right and the prepositions. German as I'm sure you know being a much more case oriented language and English being basically case free in many respects.
Btw, there is a hilarious essay by Mark Twain about "The Awful German Language". Maybe it is even funnier if you're a native German speaker and maybe you know that essay already; but in case not, I highly recommend to have a look at it (even though there seem to be some mistakes in it):
