Hello,

I would like to know if I got the meaning that sentence.

1- Un poquito, pero todavía le cuesta. - I don't understand the use of 'cuesta'. The online dictionary give me the word 'slope' or 'coûte' in French (which makes no sense at all). So, I guest it means that he speaks without confidence or his voice tremble or something like this.

Thank you

Yes, you've got the idea.
In this case it is the third person singular of the verb "costar" (to cost). Like when you ask for the price of something: How much does it cost? (¿Cuánto cuesta?). In this case he is "paying" a high price because it is not easy yet.
In this case there is also an implicit "second part" of the sentence that is not written:
Un poquito, pero todavía le cuesta (mucho trabajo hablarlo); Implicit part---> (mucho trabajo hablarlo). That is, he already speak it but it's a lot of effort for him to speak it, it is not easy yet.
Greetings

Thank you for your explanation.

You are very welcome.

Also, consider:-

Le cuesta --> Il a du mal.

Me cuesta hablar en español --> J'ai du mal à parler en espagnol.

¿Te ha costado aprender eso? --> Est-ce que tu as eu du mal à apprendre ça?

Thank you peter.

Hello, just wondering if if get this correct -
Un poquito, pero todavia le cuesta.
would this translate to .... A little, but he(in this example) still finds it difficult (costs him? le cuesta?)
thanks in advance.

That's correct Harleydog ;)

Acredito que nesse caso o "le cuesta" significa que ele fala um pouco de espanhol, mas ainda custa falar bem...
