German's grammar is a bit tricky yes until you get into it, with all the exceptions and exceptions of exceptions. Vocabulary wise it has quite a bit in common with Swedish which made it much easier to learn for me because Swedish is the second main language here after Finnish.

I really wish I pushed hard towards learning a language in school. Took it as a doss lesson, really regret it now. Would give my right nut to speak fluent portugese, german or russian.
