English and German are both Germanic languages, they have a lot of similarities making it easier for you to learn.
My native language is very different, I guess that makes it much harder for me to learn English. And the terrible disorganised mess doesn’t help.
After decades I am still uncertain of some grammatical rules and word choices. I still struggle with spelling often, and once in a while I find a word that I have been pronouncing wrong my whole life.
Sometimes people correct me, sometimes I just realise my mistakes by observations. I definitely get by, but I wish I could be more fluent.
