As someone who learned English as my second language and German third, they both have exceptions and the only thing German is easier than English is that you can spell a word after hearing it, while English it can really be anything.
Everything else though? German is insanely harder, I don’t think I could get it to the level of my English if I studied for 10 years (been about 4 years of studying it now)
Same here, English 2nd German 3rd. I’ll never get nearly as good at German for many reasons. Mostly I’m way more exposed to English, and I use it every day.
