hi there !
i´m new here, first day in school (lol), so if anybody can help me in german please contact me, thanks

Your command of English seems proficient enough... since nobody's replied, maybe you should give your questions a shot in English?
-
i'm happy to try and help you in as plain english as possible but i can only count and speak a few words in german i'm afraid. i couldn't even put a whole sentence together.

i used to like learning german in school but have forgotten pretty much most of it. i can sometimes understand things i read in german but couldn't even attempt a conversation with somebody. i could never get my head around all that ein and eine, masculine and feminine crap. i had a crazy old teacher that reminded me of mrs pepperpot who used to confuse it and never gave any logical explanation on how to tell if a word was masculine or femenine. i can remember her giving us an example of how she would figure it by using the word fence. she told us she would think housewives are known for talking over a fence so that would tell her a fence was feminine. that just confused me even more. i mean how would you define a door? men and women use doors probably equally, lol.

Yeah it can be confusing for some. Like you use masculine "der" before table but femenin "die" for door.
But Germans are insanely ocd tidy. So you have to learn such shit.
I learn fast but I can never remember faces or names... To the point where its embarrassing. Like when I have to ask someones name for the third time. (edit: And that within the first half hour)
-
yeah i just give up in the end. but to be fair i've heard english in very difficult to learn for people who's native tongue is a feminine/masculine based language. that's why a lot of foreigners speaking english say things weird. like for example you might hear a foreigner say 'we did the sex'. that one always makes me lol. but i'm guessing it shows where that masculine/feminine thing is hard to comprehend in the opposite language. i can only image how fucked up we english speakers must sound sometimes when we try to speak a foreign language to the natives who speak it properly.
