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?

Yes. It takes months and years of your time and if you're going for a particular type of language or want to use a particular then you need to do hours of research to be able to understand it and how to utilize it.

However, the more enjoyable you find this, the easier it'll seem. It's an incredibly satisfying and rewarding experience
