A tissue who has an issue with another tissue, love it!

Ha, I wonder if this is a reference to US' sovereign citizen movement?

That's interesting! Wonder if it's the same with usernames.

I tried this strategy as well, but now that I'm at a point where I can indeed communicate with natives I've sadly noticed that not knowing the correct article creates confusion and frustration in the listener when I try bit more advanced conversations.

For my day-to-day interactions I can omit it, but this has kinda halted my learning :(

Yeah I've been reading "easy german" news to form a bit more association with the words. Guess there is no way around it, got to keep practicing!

This is what I would prefer! A clear rule. But I've bumped into so many exceptions that have made me really insecure when I try to use the language in my day-to-day life.

That's what I've been missing about language learning. The fun I had in the beginning.

Ah, there is specifically content for this kind of learning, I didn't realize that. Thought at first that you meant simply by consuming media in that language an learning by looking up the words and base the rest on context.

That sounds like an interesting way of learning. Got to go and look into natural comprehension material. Thanks for the tips and explanation!

So instead of learning a noun by itself you "attach" the article to the word? E.g. instead of Sonne you'd memorize DieSonne?

Also would like to ask for tips on learning via natural comprehension! Been wondering whether listening to audio-only instead of watching videos helps with this?

I have the same problem: get occasionally really into it and then lose interest again.

I'm trying to learn German and sadly don't speak Spanish at all :( but thanks for the offer and wish you best of the luck as well! Let us prove the world (slowly) that we can do this!

If I remember correctly this person was too nutty even for Marjorie Taylor Greene. I'm not from the US but these crazies have made it into international news enough times that I know who they are.
