Question

Is German a hard language to learn?

Answer 1

Not really, I mean if you don't mind four cases, three genders and having to learn to decline them all! That's what i find difficult.

Answer 2

Learning German language is not at all difficult for a person who knows English language.

Secondly it all depends, how deeply you are interested in learning that language. If you develop lot of interest in any subject, nothing in this world is insurmountable.

Answer 3

nah, it's a really easy one. that one just took me less than a year. i fluently speak around 8 languages, and have survival knowledge of a bout 14 more. of all of these that i've learned, german was definitely in the top 3 for easiest.

Answer 4

If English is your primary language, it's one of the easiest.

German is closely related to English, so much of the grammar and even some of the words are similar.

Answer 5

No just the pronounciation.

and the conjugation can be a little annoying.

Answer 6

Definitively...believe me, I started from italian and learned english. A piece of cake, if compared to how many difficulties i'm having at the moment with german. Well, more than difficulties..nuisances: you'll need some years to get it completely right and straight (pronunciation and declination)

but the language itself it's totally worthing it.
