Los dos son difíciles de aprender in their own ways (¡Ayúdame! ¿Cómo se dice en español?)
in their own ways = cada uno a su manera

There are other ways to say this, too.
a su manera
en su propia manera | en sus propias maneras
en manera distinta | en maneras distintas

¿Qué significa "sé tengo"?
¿No es incorrecto?

That looks like a literal translation of 'I know I have a problem'

Sí, es incorrecto. Debe ser 'sé que tengo...'.

You're right. It is. But the literal translation isn't good Spanish. Spanish requires a relative conjunction where English doesn't always require one.

No es ninguna regla escrita, pero si a un chaval de 14 años le llamas niño no le va a hacer ninguna gracia.

No sé si me he salido un poco de tiesto con la respuesta
