This shit is downright illogical and it's masked by the abundance of different rules.

It's considered the easiest language in school, so easy in fact that I chose not to learn it.
Even Twain agreed it was an awful language.
It's no more illogical and incoherent than English(which made me struggle to learn it for over half a decade) Maybe it's because English takes its roots in German?
I can't understand a lick of German and I'm above average when it comes to fluency. We've strayed too far from the schnitzels and have adopted too much from the frogs and romans.
>I'm too much of a dumb retard to properly utilize this highly specialized multitool with a myriad of possible uses so clearly the tool must be at fault rather than myself
>English takes its roots in German
Absolutely NOT, Old English was similar to Old german but not the same thing. Never associate God's own language (English) with that hellish moonspeak (german) ever again.
I should kill you for even daring to associate us with the germs. But luckily for you, I am feeling merciful.
While that's true, English atleast has the decency to remove a lot of the chaff like gendered nouns, cases and so on. So while the rest can be illogical at times, it's also simpelr to learn because you don't need to remember anything but the word.

It's not that hard a language (learned a bit in High School), but it could be hard to find German media. Or enjoyable German media, at that.
How easy English is to learn and get a grip of aside, I learned English because I sought out books, watched movies, played games, and so on.
But when you're learning German? German media? Eeeeeeeh, it's lackluster and bland for the most part (books are great, though) - please don't be offended by this, Germans.
Ironically, it was harder for me to learn Russian than German because of all of the similarities it had to my own language.
There is Gothic 2 but that's about it. Do Germans have any entertaining books or is it just different variations of gloom and despair like Faust, Im Westen nichts Neues and Die Leiden des jungen Werthers?

I never said ours was easy to learn or logical (I doubt any slav language is) but atleast we have the decency to have tens after hundreds and before units.
German isn't even a bad offender. Try Danish.

I had some old and dusty books of many German thinkers handed to me free of charge, and although the language in them was a bit different and sometimes, dated, it was interesting to read them. The language in them flowed nicely.
Maybe I'm just weird and I find things like that interesting, though. I haven't actually got as much experience with German literature as I'd like to have so I can't give any recs.
I was looking for something more comedic. English has no shortage of authors who managed to be both funny and interesting and Czech isn't poor in that department either. Germans...
Kluk, how could you be so disrespectful to our German overlords? Hurensohn!
w8 to see how they bohemianizated the scientific vocabulary with made-up words. The Husites and the authors of the Bílá Hora created a monster. Bulgarian one is mostly of latin and greek origin, so when I open up a Biology textbook in Czech, I want to shoot myself in the balls.
Germans have fantastic fairy tales, maybe they can motivate you to learn. I like Wilhelm Hauff
Hey, that vocabulary actually works pretty well. You distinguish two oxides of the same element simply by the ending for example.
>The Husites and the authors of the Bílá Hora created a monster.
It wasn't them, it was actually the revival-period authors who wanted to have vocabulary for those uninfested with German loanwords.
Very logical language. Are you czech roastie?
No. Also
>14 cases
Everything must seem logical compared to Finnish.
It was a long process, I guess.
It does work, but it is foreign to me and makes me feel less Slavic, so I bitch out.
If I spoke Finnish without your 10,000 cases and sounded like a caveman, would people still understand me?
I learned Estonian to a B2 level and I quite like the grammar.
>Hey, that vocabulary actually works pretty well. You distinguish two oxides of the same element simply by the ending for example
That, for example, is done in exactly the same way in German
Be thankful he was merciful

Last time you angered a Brit, you won the world cup.
English absolutely does not take its roots from German. English predates German. Please please please learn the difference between Germanic and German.

fucking this
the only enjoyable source of kraut for me was rammstein and SPONGEBOB SCHWAMMKOPF
German sounds cool, but it looks absolutely disgusting and unaesthetic.

nigga you're slavic, our languages are the very pinnacle of retardedly complex shit
We still have verbs in the beginning of the sentence and numbers that go in a more or less natural order.
