Which language?
German. The joke (to me being lazy) is that English and German share the same language family and something like %60 of the words are similar.
I had a feeling but I still had to ask in case there was some other language out there that cares about ein/eine/einer/einen/einem/eines
Or as we like to say in English: a, a, a, an, a or a.
For the non-German studiers out there: you know how English has He vs Him ? Who vs whom? She vs her?
Germans decided to do that with their "the" (die der das den dem des), a/an (ein einer einen einem eine eines), no (kein, keiner keinen keinem keine keinez), and all their adjectives (alt, alter, alten, altem, alter... all means Old)
The good news you young grasshopper.... It kinda gets easier by the time you've done this for a year..... Kinda sorta.
Seconded.
Also, @Bobby_shmurda@sh.itjust.works, without knowing the language, a suggestion I give is to dump a comically large amount of musics in your target language to your playlist, and listen to them as you do chores, go to your commute, etc. Should help as a secondary method. =)
That's good advice. I try to listen to some of the music when at the gym and also doing chores.
