The hardest thing for me is that Japanese is a left-branching language. So instead of saying "This is the mouse that lives in the house that Jack built," you say, "This (topic) Jack built house in lives mouse is."

It becomes natural after a while but in long sentences it can still get confusing so you have to do a bit of planning.
