Yeah. It's funny because I am learning Danish eight now and it makes infinitely more sense than French ever did but I think it's because, at least to me, it's much closer to English and a lot of it is "well we do it just cause?" and my brain is like "oh cool great! I know how to cope with that".

Whereas learning something that is so structured like German/French it feels very overwhelming I guess in that sense. I don't feel like I have to think about Danish because it feels very 'normal'.
