Joe,
I must admit that Germans have rules and they follow them (not
necessarily a good thing in World War II). If I see a new word (to me)
in German I immediately know how to pronounce it; can't say the same
thing about English.
Still there's a fat chance (or slim chance) that I'll ever be fluent in
German or English.
Leland (old English for someone living in a fallow field; homeless)

Lee:
As an English professor, I must comment: Though German seems
unbelievably
complex, it is nothing compared to English with its long list of oddly
applied
rules (sometimes) and synonyms and homonyms and so much more that I
refuse to
learn it all... and I think, wisely.
Oddly enough (in the context of your message) English is a Germanic
language; in
fact it is the oldest of all the Germanic languages, even older that
German.
(Tell that to the Kaiser.) Naturally, English and German share lots of
roots,
but we English speakers were the first to bung up "the language" with to
many
(seemingly) useless ways to use it. In that sense, it's good to be a
down-home
speaker. (Damn!)

Elle,
>From The Awful German Language:
* SINGULAR
* Nominative -- Mein guter Freund, my good friend.
* Genitive -- Meines guten Freundes, of my good friend.
* Dative -- Meinem guten Freund, to my good friend.
* Accusative -- Meinen guten Freund, my good friend.
* PLURAL
* N. -- Meine guten Freunde, my good friends.
* G. -- Meiner guten Freunde, of my good friends.
* D. -- Meinen guten Freunden, to my good friends.
* A. -- Meine guten Freunde, my good friends.
What's worse is that these all change depending on if the noun is
masculine, feminine or neuter.
No wonder Germans butcher their own language.
