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.

I speak my native language for a couple of decades now and the more I speak it, the more I realize I don't master it.

I can read, write and hold a conversation in English. But if asked, I will say I can get by but very far from even the lowest level of mastery.
