As a native English speaker learning German, I believe all the memes about the scary language are totally wrong.
German is cute!
It's like that really big scary looking guy lifting weights in the gym, who when you get to know him is actually a sweetheart who works as a dog groomer and collects teddy bears.
They have compound words that should be whole sentences, but the little words don't want to be alone.
The German for dumplings is maultaschen - that literally means mouth pockets (or feedbags)!
X-rays are Röntgenbild - Röntgen picture (because he discovered the radiation which he called X)
It's so literal and yet so adorable.
