I think the "deutsche Geschwierigkeit" is a very good example. The word Geschwierigkeit does not exist, but it could. It shows eyactly how the German language works. and it is just more impressive than than "Probleme mit deutsch".

We Germans have our stereotyped ideas about English too: in every word there are at least 2 "th" and every second word is ending with "ing" and such things.

By the way: I was born in 1962 and when I was learning English at school, my English book was full of mistakes. I had a look at this book some years ago and was almost frightened to death because of these mistakes. so ... I just take it easy with the "Geschwierigkeit" (I think,  I Iove this expression)
