It’s a rare example of English being simpler than other languages, so I’m curious if it’s hard for a new speaker to keep the nouns straight without the extra clues.

    not at all. it simplifies the learning experience by quite a bunch.

    one of the more confusing is learning other gendered languages where the gender of some object is different to the one in your mother tongue

      That’s something I hadn’t really considered. Interesting!
