I tried to explain the problem to him but he had difficulty understanding Me.




Both the clauses are independent and there should a coordination conjunction with the comma before but,which is coordinating conjunction.A Comma should also be placed before other subordinating conjunction such as And, or etc.

She recommended me that I take a few days off from work.





Ater verb recommend ,when followed by that,there should be no pronoun.Check it in a dictionary.



She recommended that i take a few days off from the work.A few days is perfectly fine.

Kevin says that he stopped travelling internationally because of his family.
