Bengali is very different from English in terms of alphabet, pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary, and that means that it'll take much longer to learn than, say, French or Norwegian for the average English speaker. They may take time to get used to, however. In my opinion, no foreign language is inherently difficult to learn.
Is it hard to learn Bengali for an English speaker? It's definitely not a twin language, however, and if you decide to pick up Bengali, you'll notice that the most of the difficulties in learning the language stem from it being so different. This means that Bengali is remotely related to most European languages, English included.
It's the language of Bangladesh and Eastern India and belongs to the Indo-Aryan language family, which in turn is part of the Indo-European group of languages. Bengali is the language of over 230 million people in the world.
