yeah bro if you are only learning the language for like a few hours a week and you get zero immersion you're not gonna get fluent, you need to listen to native speakers speak and I mean for like hundreds to thousands of hours to understand them well

Tired of reading stuff like "oh I'm so bad at German I don't understand the native speakers even though I have been taking German classes for years"

okay but you have probably been taking like three classes per week with 15 other students in the room and what you mostly did was reading and writing or conversing with people with strong foreign accents. No surprise you can't actually understand native speakers

I see mostly Americans saying stuff like that and saying it's because they didn't start in middle school or elementary school like we do in Europe but they don't understand that in a lot of European countries people get a lot of English exposure through media.

I know the answer to this is probably simple, like it's a new online language thing, similar to smol and u and birb and im. only I think it's not similar, bc with all those other words it's obvious that the incorrect spelling is intentional - surely everyone knows how to write them properly. but with the apostrophe it's not. apostrophes are confusing af as they are, so to me it feels more like 'oh I have no idea if it's supposed to go there but look the word has an s in it and we all know s means an apostrophe right yeah let's do it'.

actually it's mostly anglo saxon sorry anon 

why would english be a germanic language if it was mostly latin and french. 

even your own sentence is mostly anglo saxon or old norse in etymological origin.  

98 of the 100 most common english words are germanic in origin. 

Frickity fuck, why all languages can't be as simple and nice as Polish?

I mean REALLY: no articles, NONE! When a noun ends with "a" = female. When it ends with "o" = neuter. In all other case = male.
