Phonology, Syntax, Semantics or pragmatics

What's the most challenging aspect of English is the most challenging to teach and is underrated? 

In my opinion, idioms are very important, but not many teachers are introducing it 

Syntax. It is more complicated than it seems at surface level

phonology is some how challenging because English is considered a non-phonemic language 

Phonology can be confusing because of the fact that English language is highly nonphonemic, which makes it quite difficult for beginners to predict accurately of the right word one is talking about, especially during spellings.
