I read that when using conjunctions, you put the first verb at the end of the clause.
EDIT: I just read about sentence order of the second clause when using conjunctions, and OH BOY is this going to take longer than it did for adjective endings.

Growing up with it is by far the easiest way of learning German. But even many native speakers don't get the grammar right. German grammer is honestly a big mess. English is soooo much easier imo. And it also reads in a smoother way. German just doesn't have the same kind of flow to it (no idea how to properly put it into words). It's inconvenient to the point that I actually prefer reading stuff in English by now.
> that I actually prefer reading stuff in English
dunno, I think it's more caused by translations: it is impossible to not lose some details and deeper meaning when rewriting a text in a different language. my preferred genres are scifi and fantasy and there are simple not a lot of good German-speaking authors around, so reading the English sources is simply better (I would *love* to read, say, Stanisław Lem in the original language. don't understand one word Polish, alas)
> German grammer is honestly a big mess
heh, true. the part I most dislike i English is the more or less random way (to exaggerate _slightly_) how words are pronounced, never found for me a good way to map letters to sounds, with all the exceptions
About pronunciation, a lot of English's vocabulary (about 29%) comes from French, which, on top of being from an entirely different language group, has even worse pronunciation rules than English, which is why a lot of words have illogical pronunciation (there are six ways of pronouncing 'ough' and I fucking hate it).
