Ah the innocent naivety of a beginner speaker. You start off in A1 thinking „oh this isn’t so bad“ and then reality hits. Diplomats rate German as harder to learn for native English speakers than any of the Romance languages.

    If you just give up on gendered nouns it's not so bad.

    Yeah, getting to a decent, conversational level of German isn't that bad, but I think getting properly fluent is really hard

    I wouldn't dare try to speak it cause I'd fuck it up really bad, but I'm getting to the point I can read it or understand it spoken pretty well. Rammstein and eisbrecher helped a lot, but lemmy has really helped expand my understanding.
