You might have heard that German language is not easy to master. There are number of reasons why it poses a challenge to language learners. German has complex grammar that includes verb conjugations, three noun genders, four noun cases, and two numbers. For example, the tricky definitive articles "der", "die" and "das" are all gender-specific and change by cases.
Despite its reputation of being difficult, German is not impossible to master. The good news is that German pronunciation is fairly simple. You'll find that German words are pronounced exactly as they are spelled. Certain sounds like ö (o umlaut) might cause a share of difficulties to native English speakers but that can be improved with practice.
