I know Portuguese, French, Spanish; German and English.... trsut me German is not like English, not a bit! Everytime I speak German I give 3 mistakes in declinations, one in Akkusativ and the other in genitiv and probably the verb's preposition won't be correct! German is a language that takes time, lots of time and above all, dedication! French is good and Spanish as well but that's because I am portuguese and it's easy for me! If you'd learn Latin you'd understand a lot about the essence of words.
