Answer 1

You are no exception, nor is German any more difficult than any other new language. New languages are difficult to learn for any adult. The best (at least the quickest) way to learn to use a language is to live in a place where it is spoken so you are forced to speak it. Book learning a language is very difficult esp. when you live in a country where it is not spoken.So don't get discouraged. Try and listen more to radio stations like Deutsche Welle (German radio). You can find it online or on shortwave radio. If possible, spend some time in Germany and you will find yourself speaking the language before long.

Good luck.

Answer 3

German grammar can be quite confusing and since there are all these little "fill words" in German, for instance "natuerlich", it can get difficult quickly. Also, the reason why understanding the language is hard for you might be the fact that Germany has many different dialects. So depending on where you go and what you hear, you will come around different pronunciation, different words even!

So don't worry, you will get it one day. I would try to surround myself with German as much as I can. Watch movies, listen to German music, and especially: read, read, read! good luck!
