Learning German

In my last post, I wrote about a program that's helping me learn German (among other things). If you are interested in learning new stuff, you should check it out, it's called Anki.

Anyway, this post is about the trouble I've run into trying to learn German, or Deutsch (woo).
It's a much harder language than I've expected it to be, but to be honest the way I've heard it spoken in movies and by a few friends made me want to speak it, so maybe I've expected this level of difficulty. If I could speak German like a native German kid, I'd be pretty proud of myself, it sounds so cool!
So it's definitely not too difficult to try, and I'm really sure it's totally worth it, but I'm an impatient kind of guy.
Russian always seemed easier since my parents spoke it around me since I can remember, but I guess it's apples and oranges, trying to compare Russian and German together.
A big reason why I wanted to learn German was because of the way I heard it in movies like The Baader Meinhof Complex and especially in Inglorious Basterds.
Plus, Germans are fine people, so I could hope to visit Germany as a vacation, and really hope to speak German with Germans.
All the Germans.
