Thank you for the insight, but I indeed meant it in the other direction.

German might be harder to learn for an English speaker, but that does not mean that English is not easier for a German speaker than a Romance language speaker.

Another example of this phenomenon (one language being easier to learn from one language, but not in the other way): Romanian. Romanian is a Romance language but with a lot of Slavic influence, so for Romanian speakers it is easy to learn Spanish or Italian, but for Spanish or Italian speakers, it is harder to learn Romanian due to the additional Slavic aspects.
