I'm German but living in the US for the last few years.
I've had American friends in Germany and from what I understand, most things are pretty "regular" compared to other languages. Not that many exceptions. People tell me that pronunciation is usually pretty straight forward compared to e.g. English.
There are also some weird rules that I don't recall ever hearing before.
e.g. everything ending in "-chen" or "-lein" uses "das" as an article.
Not sure if German learners can confirm/deny the learning complexity compared to other languages.
- merb 10y agoyeah the basic stuff. but when it comes to tenses, etc. Just look at job descriptions, even feminists don't care about our language.
