German is surprisingly easy to learn if you just want to speak and be understood. Although, if you don't learn it as a child, it is extremely difficult to speak without making mistakes.
Each noun is masculine, feminine, or neutral, and there is a complicated case system built around each gender. If you get the gender wrong, your mistakes snowballs into a series of mistakes.
There are some rules that help, but it is often contrary to common sense. A "girl" is neutral. A female/woman (Frau) is of course feminine, but if you use the less flattering (Weib), then it is "das Weib" neutral.
But still, I think it is easier to learn that French, Italian, or English. It is actually an impressive language: very clever, efficient, and precise.
Wow!..
Are you a language Professor? I wish am there to be under your study, the way you explained in details is unique.
:-D I'm far from being a professor! Those are just a few quirky things I've noticed. Good thing for you, you speak English. If an English speaker speaks slowly and clearly and avoids idiomatic expressions, he or she can usually get by all over the world ;-)
Oh, thats assuring...Thanks for taking time to acknowledge me @roused i am honored.
