Students from the 2019/2020 Mathematics Education Study Program at Universitas PGRI Yogyakarta, Universitas Ahmad Dahlan, and Universitas Muhammadiyah Jember participated in the qualitative research. Tests, interviews, and documentation were used as data gathering procedures. Researchers, test questions, and interview rules were used as study instruments. Data collecting, data reduction, data presentation, and generating conclusions were among the strategies used in data analysis. The results shows that the students had got some learning difficulties in interpreting teaching materials in English, English terms (both mathematical and general terms), understanding mathematical concepts, recognizing the meaning of the question and writing the answer in English. Some internal and external factors in students’ learning difficulties i.e., lower ability to speak, student habit, interest and concentration, parents’ attention and living environment.
