What Aang or Korra struggles to learn isn't based on the element they are born into. It's based on their personality. Aang struggled with earth because he had trouble grounding himself and sticking up for himself. Korra struggles with air because she's a hot-head who treats all bending as nothing more than a way to fight.

A popular observation is that ATLA was about a person learning to be the Avatar, while Korra is about an Avatar learning how to be a person. They are very opposite from each other.

Yeah, I realized they said "personality" when I was editing and felt pretty dumb. I like this concept very much.

It's not dumb in ATLA Katara asked Aang what the opposit of air is. Aang realized that because of that he had trouble with earth. Aang is an Airbender with an airbender personality. So if you're used to ATLA then it's logical you think Korra should have trouble with fire instead of air. But because of Korra her stubbornness she is more like an earthbender then a waterbender. That makes it a little bit confusing. Not only get stubbornness but also her determination when she wants something she gets it.
