Besides spanish I would love to learn german Germany is so close to Spain so it shouldnt be too hard to move there for a year and learn it

[irmamar]

I'd like to learn German too, but I think this is a bit difficult, I know a few words but I'm not able to declinate (?) them correctly.

I don't think Germay is so near to Spain, of course other countries are much more far, but it's not next

I know someone who's been studying german for a couple of years they say that the grammar is really tricky, but he hadn't studied spanish so its hard to compare

Im used to driving so far all the time here in USA, I have to drive 60 miles to my job and 15 miles to the grocery store I like how compact europe seems when I move there Im excited to live close to everything, job, stores ect.

I studied German for a couple of years, (after learning Spanish), and I didn't find it all that hard. It has a lot of similarities with English. The verb conjugation system isn't too hard. I think the hardest things for an English speaker would be (1) The three noun genders, (2) sentence word order (there are some significant differences from English), and (3) noun declension (case system) -- this is largely non-existent in English.

Even though you have to go through several countries to get from Spain to Germany, they are closer together than California and New York. The difference from Spain to Germany would be similar to the distance from Florida to New York.

Haha! "The verb conjugation system isn't too hard" ?!?!

To me, I suppose as a Spanish speaker, the hardest features to learn have been:
1) Conjugation
2) Sentence word order
3) Declinations
4) Pronunciation

Once I deal with each one of them, I can make a proper sentence, although it takes me some 15 minutes to build it.

Anyway, it's a nice language to learn... it keeps the brain working well.

60 miles are about 96 km. and 15 miles are about 24 km. (sorry, I have to translate). As I'd say in Sapnish, "¡qué barbaridad!". I have my job a few minutes from my home, walking, of course, and I'm always complaining because there are very few supermarkets (just one about 5 minutes from my house) where I live, but I go there walking. I only take the car if I have to go to big supermarkets
