Hallo, Willkommen!
Du hast Probleme mit Deutsch? Hier ist ein bisschen Hilfe!
A person who has not studied German can form no idea of what a perplexing language
it is. Surely there is no other language that is so slipshot and systemless, and
so slippery and elusive to the grasp. One is washed about in it, hither and thither,
in the most helpless way; and when at last he thinks he has captured a rule which
offers firm ground to take a rest on amid the general rage and turmoil of the ten
parts of speech, he turns over the page and reads, "let the pupil make careful notice
of the following exceptions."
Mark Twain, "The awful German language" 1880
