... because it doesn't exist in English. Of course you don't remember things that don't exist.
Yep. That's why you can pick out every American stumbling through German even after they spent 20 years in the country, because they can't get any of the things that you have to memorize right.
If you think that what they teach in American schools in German, then maybe. But seriously, pronunciation is so not the hardest part about learning languages.
And as I said, German isn't even a hard language either. That goes to e.g. Finnish or Hungarian (at least for western languages). But English is an easy mode language.
If English was easy, then native speakers wouldn't make so many mistakes.
Maybe you mean English is forgiving? As in, even though you're bad at it, I can understand you.
Case in point: If English were easy.
