Learning German right now. Yes, irregular plurals and gendered nouns are killing me!!!! Just doesn't make too much sense to me :(

English has a lot of irregular words as well. Of Spanish and German, however, German is much more difficult to learn.

Emm, I think most English nouns are made plural by adding -s/-es", so I can at least try the regular approach if I'm not sure. German nouns have a lot different forms for plural :|
