The research data was gained from the results of questionnaire that had fulfilled the validity and reliability requirements. Data were interpreted by a simple linear regression technique that composing by T-test, F-test, and Coefficient of Determination. Before testing the hypothesis, the data must go through normality and linearity tests as prerequisite tests. From the proceed of the f-test analysis, it was obtained f count = 52.252 ≥ f table = 3.92, which mean is the learning motivation has an influence to the learning difficulties. Then in the test output from coefficient of determination obtained r2 = 33.7% which indicates learning difficulties are influenced by learning motivation of 33.7% and 62.3% is affected by the other factors. Then the T-test results gained t count = -7.229 <T table = -1.980, meaning that motivation has a significant effect on learning difficulties. The simple linear regression similarity gained is Y = 97,796 – 0,580X which indicates that each learning motivation has increased one value, also learning difficulty reduce by 0.580. Negative sign indicates the existence of a form of influence in the opposite direction. So if learning motivation decreases, learning difficulties will increase. Conversely, if the motivation to learn increases, the difficulty of learning will decrease
