"for monolingual speakers of english, it’s hard to learn a language with grammatical genders, but if you already speak a language with those, that won’t be a problem"

Not necessarily. I'm German and I still have to learn French grammatical genders by heart, because they don't necessarily match ours. Familiarity with the concept doesn't make it any easier, just less weird.

Example: The tower. LA tour, feminine. DER Turm, masculine.

    That's more of a Germanic vs Latin languages. Most genders on french and Spanish match.
