If German is your home language, then of course learning English it was easier to learn than other languages than you. A lot of English is derived from German and they are considered part of the same language family. If you spoke a Sino-Tibetan or Austroasiatic language, then you probably would have had a lot more trouble. My parents came to America from China twenty years ago and they still have issues sometimes

yeah, my English father still speaks broken German.

just seems weird to me that English writers make such a fuss about it, when
at least my language has more rules to fuck up? I've been in writing workshops where people said "yeah, this is spelled wrong, but you can iron that out later" if it was really bad. spelling mistakes were the very last thing people pointed out when they had nothing else to talk about.

Is it because English is simpler grammar-wise and the mistakes are more glaringly obvious?
