The Awful German Language

Reading all the texts on the various didactic theories makes me wonder how those of my fellow students are getting on with it whose native language is not German.
They are better off than us in some cases of course, since some of those texts seem to be written by an author who wanted to demonstrate that he is a balanced bilingual of German and Latin - the French students may have advantages there.

Especially the length of the sentences puts me in mind of what Mark Twain wrote in 1880 on the German language, in The Awful German Language:

( Parenthesis )

Die deutsche Verbklammer... terrible.

My sincerest condolences to all who endeavour to learn my mother tongue. If it wasn't mine, I wouldn't try, I fear. It's worse than French, and I completely failed at that.

Love and *hugs* to all!

And get well soon, Sad.
