I would like to create an inverse programme of "Emily In Paris", called "Maricarmen In Chicago"

[Zevoos]

Just as Emily In Paris was about a woman from Chicago sent to work at the Parisian branch of her multinational fashion/perfume company despite only speaking rudimentary French, so I want to create a (relatively) realistic inverse scenario where a Spanish woman from Madrid is sent to the Chicago branch of her company despite only speaking rudimentary English, and relies on the Spanish-speaking staff to help her. Any thoughts?

This already happens by the millions. What language you think you're going to hear in the km long migrant caravan? Spics are called spics because they can only speak Spanish.

But the difference is they wouldn't be employed in the offices (except as cleaners) in posh fashion companies (except maybe in Miami).

They're the same scenario because both work in environments where coworkers know their language, except English is of higher class thus more likely to be known by white collar professionals while the opposite is true for Spanish.
A film about a Mexican cleaner who only speaks Spanish moving to San Antonio for work would be far more common and realistic than the history of Emily in Paris but not as fancy.

Notions of hard and easy are terribly subjective, but as you said given its unphonetic spelling etc. English certainly cannot be described as really easy.

Among the most spoken in the world, it is undoubtedly the easiest to learn.

Just look at the tenses of the Romance languages, or how other Germanic languages ​​than English work. Your pronouns and nouns don't even have gender particles...
