Working can be hard, but having free time is easy. There’s nothing you have to do and nowhere you have to go, so you can do what you enjoy to relax, like go for a walk in the park. While you’re out on a walk, you don’t have to think about difficult tasks. It’s not stressful at all. You can stop and smell the flowers, sit on a bench and read, or simply enjoy the fresh air. It’s easy and fun!

The expression walk in the park means that something is easy. It could be a walk in the park to cook your favorite recipe or even to finish a simple homework assignment.

But I think learning a foreign language is no walk in the park at all. You have to learn forever and  always there is something to learn.It might be a kind of nonstop task.
