Spanish and German can't say shit, imagine having to remember the gender of chairs.
Chinese would be great if it was invented 100 years ago instead of having gone through 3000 years of telephone until half the words are references to things long forgotten.
Fair. At least when you’re learning words you usually remember how they end and put together which words sound right with it when you recall them.
This is my problem with Portuguese too, its very gendered and there’s so many conjugations. I’m trying to learn Spanish with Duolingo and my most consistent mistake is what gender the words are because sometimes its not obvious.
I should be learning Portuguese since my family is but for som reason I wanna learn Spanish right now, I don’t know why…
These are justified criticisms you have every right to make, but please remember to wear a facemask while pronouncing the "TH" sound in public
Genders in German suck, but in Spanish it's pretty easy as most feminine nouns end in "a", and masculine in "o". (with a few exceptions of course)
but remembering which ones are "o" and which ones are "a" is very difficult unless you practice many times a day and even easier to forget if you don't.
