things i like abt the german language as someone trying to learn german

-words are pronounced exactly the way theyre spelled

-english is germanic, so many words are similar enough that u can easily figure out the meaning jst by looking at the word (Milch=Milk, Buch=Book, Bruder=Brother, Schwester=Sister, etc etc)

-other words are just word+word and german is so Literal with naming shit so if u know some words its easy to kinda figure out what smthng means (Handschuhe = literally, “Hand Shoes” = Gloves)

-vocabulary is So Easy to remember bc of these above 3 points like frfr

things i hate abt the german language as someone trying to learn german

-GENDERED NOUNS can die (DER DIE DAS)

-DECLENSIONS are AAAA (DEN DEM DES)

-CONJUGATIONS as well are horrible (especially PAST TENSE VERBS and literally every conjugation of the verb WERDEN) (its so HARD to remember and understand)

-PLURAL VERSIONS of nouns are so DUMB (it makes NO SENSE)
