>>I have learned some French (2 genders) and am learning German (3 genders) now. I can tell you one vast improvement in English was dropping of those darn genders from the language. It makes nouns easier, which in turn makes verbs and adjectives easier. Would I guess correctly that Dutch also has 3 genders?

>Genders ?? I don't know much about gramatics.... Can you give me an example of the trhee german genders ?
It may seem natural to you, but German nouns are Masculine, Feminine, or Neuter, and most other parts of speech are tied to this: articles (der, die, das), verb suffixes, etc...English does not have this trait (or it lost it long ago, anyway)...it probably seems natural when you are socialized at a young age into a language, but it's a big headache for English-speakers trying to learn other languages :)
