Biggest challenges for German speakers learning English

If you know what’s hard in advance, you can learn faster. These are the main things that slow down German speakers when they learn English.

  • German puts the verb at the end of subordinate clauses — very different from English
  • German has four grammatical cases — English essentially has none
  • German compound words can be enormous — English splits these into phrases
  • German has three genders for nouns — English has none

Focus on one challenge at a time. Small daily practice beats long study sessions.
