For Portuguese speakers
The grammar is famous for being rigorous: three genders (der, die, das), four cases (nominative, accusative, dative and genitive) and the verb in fixed positions in the sentence. On the other hand, the pronunciation is quite regular and compound words make the vocabulary logical.
