Moien!

Oh, damn!
It's nice, all those days, but my kitchen looks like a battle field! Such a mess.....

I was just about to ask a lengthy question about a simple German grammar question, but it turns out if I just turned the page once in my German Grammar book I'd have the answer and a bunch of new questions

Tja... kann ich nichts dafür.

Zuerst muss ich Englisch lernen, bevor ich Deutsch lernen

You should know your native language, true! But learn it? Or how do I have to see this?

I read words such as nomative, accusative, genative and dative, and terms such as weak declension, mixed declension and strong declension, and my brain implodes.

I must be off. Bye

Yep. Those things.... the trouble for all foreigners!

(but the weak/mixed and strong declensions make perfect sense to me )

I have no idea either

Weak, mixed and strong declensions?
Zwakke, gemengde en sterke werkwoorden.
Ik loop, ik liep, heb gelopen (sterk/strong)
Ik bak, bakte, heb gebakken (gemengt/mixed)
Ik vraag, vroeg, heb gevraagd (gemengt/mixed)
Ik maak, maakte, heb gemaakt (zwak/weak)

Voilà.
You might not have known its terms, but that's what it means here.
In German you also have weak and strong noums(?). But I'd have to look that up, before I do any explanations about it. I know that e.g. "Junge" is a strong noun(?)
Der Junge, des Jungen, dem Jungen, den Jungen.

It took us quite some time to catch up with the dishes also and we were doing them constantly while cooking dinners and what not!
