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.

    You get used to it. The other way around is likely a lot harder, considering that a new concept is being introduced.

      Can confirm. English is my first language and I took German in high school; it was basically just memorization for which words get which.
