It gets a lot easier after you do multiple semesters of Sanskrit in grad
school, since you learn to differentiate the ablative and instrumental, there
is a locative separate from the dative, and there are very very few "irregular"
forms--which shouldn't be surprising since it's a standardized version of the
natural language in which Vedic literature was composed.  (The name even says
so, since it means "perfected".)

I did pretty well in my two years of Latin and I still find German
cases daunting. They're sort of the same except where they're
completely different.

Is ablative “by means of?” I had several years of Latin, now mostly gone. I
always think I want to go back and refresh, but I never seem to get a round
tuit.

eg, the exclamation, "by Jove!" is actually, " by by Jove"
because, "Jove" is already in the ablative!

Yes, but hender can be different in different languages!
In german the sun - die Sonne - is feminine, the moon - der Mond - is masculine;
in french it is le soleil (masculine) and la lune (feminine).

A phony explanation for this is that in southern lands the sun is powerful,
and hence masculine, while in northern lands it is weak, and hence
feminine.

I just checked and the word for "sun" in Arabic is feminine.  I tried
the same for the other extreme but the various Eskimo-Aleut languages
seem to not have noun gender.

	Coincidence bites again ? It is less than 24 hours since I was
reading the bit in Artifact where a character is complaining about that
very aspect of the German language.

Yeah. Isn't that weird?

And as I mentioned in another article - and I want to repeat it because
it's so quirky - if there are more than one, everything becomes
feminine. Even man. Singular is "Der Mann", pural "Die Männer" ("die" is
the feminine article!). The "a" in Mann even becomes an "ä", while when you
try this with women:

Singular "Die Frau", plural "Die Frauen"

the "a" stays an "a". Also "die" stays "die" in the plural form.

Not really.  The genders are distinguished only in the singular, but the plural
differs a bit from any of them:

	M	F	N	P
Nom	der	die	das	die
Gen	des	der	des	der
Dat	dem	der	dem	den
Acc	den	die	das	die

So the plural differs from the feminine in the dative case.

Then there are the forms of the adjective when preceded by the definite article
vs. the indefinite article _ein_ (and similar forms like _kein_ "none, no") vs. 
without any article.  To make this clear, I'll use the adjective _klein_ "little".

And to top it off, 'ein' gets affected as well,

I always thought of the plural "die" as a distinct word
which just happened to look like the singular feminine.

While we're at it, let's not forget the declension of nouns.
The poster child is "Herz" (heart), which has an irregular declension:

     Singular     Plural
Nom  das Herz     die Herzen
Gen  des Herzens  der Herzen
Dat  dem Herzen   den Herzen
Acc  das Herz     die Herzen

There's nothing irregular about it--it's a perfectly regular n-stem noun.

There just aren't very many of them. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

You're right.

To see why German is harder to learn than English, here how the table
would look like, if English had four cases and more than one gender:

        M       F       N       P
Nom     the     the     the     the
Gen     the     the     the     the
Dat     the     the     the     the
Acc     the     the     the     the

But English doesn't have this, it's always "the" or "a" (or "an" if a
vowel is the first letter of the noun).

Try learning Welsh (as I am currently having inherited a library
of books) with 10 different ways of getting the plural of nouns,
and the first letter mutating to something different depending
on the context!

German with it's grammar is a nightmare to learn. I tried back in school. English is also more accessible through TV and movies so you pick up 
way more that way.

As German I found English easier to learn than French. Russian the
hardest ever, but I only got the (military) basics.

English has only one article, no matter what gender. It's always "the" or
"a(n)". French had two plus one for plural (le and la and les) while
German has three (die, der and das), and "die" for plural. Since "die" is
the feminine article everything, also more than one man ("men") becomes
feminine. Also you cannot guess in French or English (suppose Spanish,
Italian and other languages with more than one article) if the article is
masculine, feminine, or worse in German, neutral. For example a tree is
masculine, a boat is neutral (you might have heard about the German 80s
movie "Das Boot"), while a hedge is female. In English you don't have to
care about genders.

Then there are cases. English doesn't know of them. I think French has
two. German has four and Russian six. And there is where novice German
speakers will have it wrong in most cases. Like "The car belongs to th
man".

Novice speakers would most likely say "Das Auto gehört der Mann", because
"der" is a masculine article. Correct is "Das Auto gehört dem Mann". But
if you use woman (Frau) instead of a man you get "Das Auto gehört der
Frau". Again, "der" is masculine, but it is correct! Because this is the
third case (accusative) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accusative>.

English has (for my knowledge) only one case.

The car belongs to the man.
The car belongs to the woman.

If you don't really need German you don't want to learn it. Unless you
like pain. :-)
