The grammar is fucking insane. The whole he/she/it business is far easier than when I was learning German, since their word endings are far more structured, but trying to account for fifty different word endings every time I opened my mouth was far too hard. Words that I know will suddenly make no sense when put into a slightly different context, and since the focus of my course was far more on grammar than on vocabulary reading anything was a nightmare.

Still, it's a brilliant language and maybe one day I'll actually learn it properly.
