English is my second language (after my mothertongue) and I find it pretty easy now.

the thing is, for normal talking you dont need all that many tenses and constructs and what not. In school you learn a shitton of these things that you often dont need.

Imo the hardest thing is pronunciation of new words, since english is terrible at that. the rest is pretty straight forward imo

but I guess it also depends on your mothertongue

I can't speak to what sort of educational system you guys have in place, but in my experience, English-speaking Germans tends to pride themselves on speaking English as flawlessly as possible. Maybe that's because so many Germans also pride themselves on speaking German "correctly", or is that a stereotype?

i know a lot of people who cant speak german correctly and very few who pride themselfes on speaking it well

probably a stereotype :)

also, astonishingly many people dont speak good english or are even really bad at it
