I'm reminded of trying to figure out the gender rules in German. Setting aside the whole gender thing being new to English speakers, you eventually just give up and try to memorize the gender of individual nouns, happy in knowing the person you're speaking to will likely just smile and understand what you're trying to say, no matter your errors. 😎

Besides, these days in Germany people might prefer to speak English to you.

Hee hee hee! I have been there with gender rules. I know exactly what you are talking about. 😀
