People who speak English as a second language: how confusing is it that nouns are not gendered? (lemmy.world)

It's a rare example of English being simpler than other languages, so I'm curious if it's hard for a new speaker to keep the nouns straight without the extra clues.

one of the more confusing is learning other gendered languages where the gender of some object is different to the one in your mother tongue

That's something I hadn't really considered. Interesting!
