Arabic /q/ is a pain. Just try to say /iqi/ without having it come out as /iʔqɑi/.

French "fruit".
Here we have a nearly impossible combination: Fr. 'r' followed by a front rounded 'u' used as a semi-consonant introducing the 'i'.
No non-native speaker will ever be able to pronounce it correctly. It takes more than one life to get full command of it.

What about double consonants in Italian? I'm pretty certain I enunciate those as stops.
No man u are yanking my chain.
Double consonant in italian is very easy.

Italian is maybe the easiest language to pronounce.

LL is no longer pronounced properly (/ʎ/). People pronounce LL like consonantic Y, so you can simply so the same. Anyways Italian does have the /ʎ/ sound. The same happens with ñ,in Italian gn has the same pronunciation than ñ. Th is like in English so if you know English in Spanish it's the same. J can be aspirated on the other hand like in Andalusian Spanish and American Spanish if you don't want to deal with /x/.
Spanish is objectively the easiest language to pronunce as you can see.
