I've never tried to learn Dutch, but I found German _much_ easier to learn than English. The German grammar and spelling are so regular, consistent and simple compared to English.

The genres, though... And saying that the German grammar is simpler is quite a stretch. English barely conjugates verbs!

Would trade putting genres into english if I could also get the German consistency in spelling any day, though.
