Translation of colorless in German

My mom and dad used to speak English when they wanted to say something I shouldn't understand. In this way I have learned English. I did not tell them till late, but I did understand every word they said.
We have learned that some tenses, such as Present Tense are easier and not as complex as others. Is that right? In my opinion, tenses in English are much easier than in the Spanish language.
I hope there were not too many mistakes here. I have learned Spanish not a long time ago and I am still very insecure! Tell me please, where do you come from and what you do?
