I personally think learning english if way easier for german people than learning german for english people, because: 1. More letters In german, there are 4 additonal characters, Ä/ä, Ö/ö, Ü/ü and ß while the english language doesnt have any. The thing is, if you dont put the dots above the letters, words can have a completely different meaning! Example: er möchte (he wants) =\= er mochte (he wanted). The ß is pretty special as well, it is basically just an s with slightly different pronounciation. It can get replaced with ss, but using ß would be better. Example: Fuß (foot). It can not be used as the first letter in the word. 2. Capital letters In english, there are 2 cases where a capital letter can occur other than WRITING STUFF IN ALL CAPS ON PURPOSE. These are: - at the beginning of a sentence (He wants some ice cream) - at the beginning of names of people or places (Robert Topala) While in german, these also occur, there is one more case: -at the beginning of nouns (Apfel, Bett, Tisch, Mensch etc) 3. Articles Let me expain this in image form:  (This table is missing the indefinite articles a and an in english and ein, eine, ein, eines, einer einen, einem, eines (probably missing some) in german) As you can see, while there are only 3 articles in english, there are way more in german. They differ between cases and grammatical genders. In plural, it is always "die" (at least in nominative). 4. Grammatical genders? While in english, we have masculine, feminine and neuter, in german, we have... the same ones. But they are used differently. In english, there is masculine for male humans ("he"), feminine for female humans ("she") and the rest is just neuter ("it"). In german, we use them the same way, but not everything other than humans is neuter: we have der Baum (masculine article, the tree), die Tür (feminine, the door) or das Haus (neuter, the house). You really have to remember that. When i learned french, it was really confusing because french grammatical genders are often different than german ones. I think that was all, if you have something to add, tell me! |

This is probably the worst thing in all languages and I actually have a problem remembering this when learning German. While the genders match in 80% of the words between Czech and German, the 20% left will confuse you so much that you'll even get the stuff that matches wrong. |

English is strange
This is my list of how words should be spelled:
-Tough -> Tuff
(Why does gh make the f sound?)
-Through -> Thru
(Ok English maker, so now that gh sound that makes an f sound is silent?
-Phone -> Foan
(And the ph makes an f sound? God, did a 5 year old come up with this language and just place random letters everywhere?)
Know -> No
(You may as well make the silent K an F, or an R... Why K?)
