English does have a lot of funny rules for people to get wrong, but it does have one word for 'the' which I think would make it easier.  I don't know what it's like for a beginner since I've learned it all my life, but Spanish, German, and French all seem harder since you have to learn the gender of every inanimate object.

As for the Java, you can give someone a basic grasp of the language in 2 weeks.  To make anyone an expert in 2 weeks would take some pretty intense training, and they should have to already be an expert in something very similar.
