I've read about people's difficulties learning German. From what I understand every grammatical rule has so many exceptions it just as well not be a rule.

Then theres English, with "I before E, except after C." Weird.

Well some rules have more exceptions than actual words that follow the rule...

Basically you have to learn everything by heart.

You might like this QI video about I before E except after C. Always gets me laughing.
