The German language is easy to master – if you are from Germany. If you are not- good luck. It has complicated grammar and words for almost anything.

Olly Richards, a polyglot and the creator of I Will Teach You A Language, says that, actually, German isn't too difficult to master.

"One of the main reasons German isn’t all that hard to learn is that German and English originate from the same language families and share more similarities than you probably realize," Richards says.

"Both German and English are Indo-European languages that stem from the Germanic family of languages. About 40% of German vocabulary is similar to English vocabulary, which is good news for native English speakers!"
