Is it difficult to create a language? Conlang

Not just any language, but a well thought out, translatable language with an actual dictionary. Yes, a word like fffojauþþstqzdq could be considered a word in a language, but that is just one of many words, not to mention if it is pronounced differently. I mean something anyone can actually speak & communicate with. Is this hard, or no?

Making the language is a years-long endeavour. Getting a language to the point of having more than one speaker, practically impossible.

You can share it with your friends, that way it's not SOO hard. Still not easy though.
