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. Ha! I never thought of English that way! But here are the problems with German:


 * Geeverythingen gestarten with "ge-" and geenden with "-en".


 * There is about a 5% chance of finding the correct form of "the" in any context.
