Turkish language doesn't have gendered nouns. What's more, if you want to talk about a person, you use the pronoun "o" and it can mean he or she. You wouldn't know the gender of the person if you don't have additional information. I tried learning German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Russian, and I stopped learning all of them because having to learn the genders of nouns was not a concept that I'm used to. I don't like to think of objects as being masculine or feminine. I believe gendered nouns may unconsciously influence the way people think about things?

Yes, except in Kentucky there was a paucity of German speakers, so my only real opportunity for conversation was in school. English being THE international language- especially in business- seemingly makes it easier to learn. And yes, the declensions for Nominative, Dative, Genitive & Accusative indicate form for structural positions.

Yep not fun and definitely the part where the natives know you aren't native. Although from the languages I know, English is the only one that doesn't have the gendered nouns. And then you try Latin, and then every word has a gender and the gendered words also have about 6 different endings based on their position in the sentence if I remember correctly, and maybe even 12 if you also count the plural versions? I could not be bothered with it and dropped it as soon as I could. Regarding your second paragraph, I think every language has that? All in all, for most language learning it's better to just learn it in practice. Read and hear the language so much that one thing just feels more natural than the other instead of relying on grammar rules. Won't work in all cases, but at least it will make the learning fun

Taking 4 years of German in high school, I found it annoying & seemingly unnecessary that every noun you learned had a gender you had to memorize. Then the whole declension. Der die das die...den die das die, dem der dem den, des der des der. Ich du er sie es wir ihr sie Sie, mich dich ihn sie es uns euch sie Sie, mir dir ihm ihr ihm uns euch ihnen Ihnen, meiner deiner seiner ihrer seiner unser euer ihrer Ihrer About as much fun as memorizing the chemical process of Adenosine Triphosphate in the Krebs/Citric Acid Cycle in nursing school back in the day. A knife being neutral, a spoon masculine & a fork feminine, for example...
