Are some languages inherently more difficult to understand than others, for their own native speakers? Example: Is English more difficult to understand for a native speaker of English than Spanish is for a native speaker of Spanish?

Among the romance language, i think Italian is the easiest one to catch what the guy is speaking.If u learn the vocabulary u can catch a conversation between 2 italians.

The hardest can be european portuguese or spanish.
Even if u know before what these guys will speak, u wont understand in the moment.
