My french & german language teacher at school said that german is hard for beginners, but easy when you get the hang of it; whereas french starts easy but gets harder....
I think I've reached the (relatively low) threshold in german where the effort is diminishing returns.

| I had to vote for the last one, but I would say G is easier. I learnt both in school to some degree and definitely found German easier then. Perhaps to get to a decent level F is easier or they are equal, but to start I definitely found German easier. What I also find though is that since I spent more time "learning French" (actually messing about at the back of the class) I still understand some when I hear it spoken. Maybe that means French is easier... | |
