Germany, you say? It’s local name will be something with WAY too many letters.
Edit: Relax, folks. ALL languages are kinda messy in their own way. There’s a difference between a good-natured joke and heartfelt criticism. I’m not criticizing anything. Plus, I’m speaking English, which is an absolute dumpster fire.
English is perfectly reasonable… if you think taking root words from 3 or 4 languages as a core and fleshing it out with words from another half dozen languages and stitching it together with grammar that kind of matches a couple of those languages is reasonable.
English is almost entirely just what feels right. No English speaker has perfect English. I’m sure that Germans have the same with all the 16 uses of “the”. English just has more.

Non-native speakers who become seamlessly fluent genuinely impress me.
