Is it hard to learn German?

English is a Germanic language, so I guess it must be somewhat easier to learn than most languages if you already speak English

compared to what?

>>70197644
French

>>70197662
No, French is a little bit harder to learn than German. But they're both pretty close

>>70197116
yes

>fehlerfrei
vermutlich schon, selbst deutsche die nicht fehlerfrei deutsch sprechen sieht man öfters.
>verständlich
eigentlich nicht, gebrochenes deutsch kann man eher verstehen als gebrochenes englisch.

>>70197116
if our uneducted, islamist erdoğanist villagers can learn it. you would learn it very easily

More like Germans don't act like you have to speak the language perfectly to understand it.
Stupid Anglos claim that they don't understand a sentence when you make a little mistake, when everybody with half a brain could figure out what was meant.

No

Nicht wirklich. Die größten Hürden für Ausländer sind in beiden Sprachen gleich: 1. Grammatische Geschlechter ohne System, so dass man Riesenmengen auswendig lernen muss. 2. Grammatische Fälle, die dazu zwingen, die Deklination von Wörtern auswendig zu lernen.
Letztlich hat die deutsche Sprache aber ein wenig mehr System.

Tons of people who speak Arabic and Turkish speak it so I assume no.

It's probably the hardest of all the Western European languages

I know it's for Native English speakers, but when you see all other Romance and Germanic languages in the same tier, then that's a hint.

>Turks and arabs are able to speak German
In your dreams maybe. Listening to their German makes me want to throw up
>>70198484
Icelandic is more difficult than German, so no German isn't the hardest in Western Europe.

Why is dutch so much easier than german? I thought they were the same language?

>>70198917
Dutch is closer to English, no they are not the same language. Dutch doesn't have a case system and Dutch doesn't have three genders anymore.
Frisian and Low German is the same they are easier to learn because they're closer to English.

Compared to English, yes, definitely. But it's possible, if you've got the right studying material or a nice course to attend to, then you'll have no real problems besides having to memorize nouns' genders and other minor details. Though there are lots of techniques to easily memorize genders; personally I write down the nouns I'm having trouble with on a notepad and I proceed to mark them with a colorful marker in accordance to their gender. I use dark green for masculine, yellow for neutral and pink for feminine nouns.
Aside from that and adjective declensions I'd say it's a pretty straight forward language to learn, you'll intuitively remember certain grammar rules, others you'll have to memorize but that's it. It's nothing alien if you speak an Indo-European and Germanic language already, which you do so since you know English.

Anyways, if you intend to learn it, good luck, it's a beautiful language (more so than French imo) and it's highly useful if you're into STEM, or if you're interested in god-tier literature.

We do

>>70199418
Oh you still do?
Then I misremembered, I'm sorry. I thought you were already degenerated like the Danish, Norwegians and Swedish who have a "common gender" and a neutral one.

All you can do is just scour the web for them, most you'll find will be in English though, I recommend you use English resources as much as possible, they're pretty damn good.

Ja, sehr compliciert.
