German definitely has a learning curve but it's totally doable. The key is finding the right resources and staying consistent. I've been using this german language learning app for about 8 months now and it's helped a lot with pronunciation and basic conversations. The structured lessons make it less overwhelming than trying to learn from random YouTube videos. Start with simple phrases and build up gradually. Don't get discouraged by the grammar rules at first - they start making sense after a while. Good luck with whatever you decide!
