I fell really discouraged to learn it. In France Deuch is said to be a very difficult language. But it remember me something. I read that German never cut the other when speaking as we use to do it in other languages. This is not because you are more polite (even if you feel disapointed) but because in Deuch you have to wait till the end of the phrase to understand the meaning because the most important is at the end.

Corrections and suggestions: I also answered in French without being consious of it. We can move/go to the French forum when you want to speak in French. I think you forget the letters which are not pronounced. I never remember the order of the letters because they are not pronounced as they are written.

But it reminded me of something. I read that Germans never interrupt each other when speaking as we usually/normally do in other languages. This is not because you are more polite (even if you feel disapointed) but because in Deuch you have to wait till the end of the phrase to understand the meaning because the most important thing is at the end.

Flo : the most difficult is to remember the phrase while speaking

MyProfe : the most difficult thing is to remember the phrase while speaking

Flo : the most important is at the end.

MyProfe : the most important thing is at the end.

Flo : But more difficult from Spanish to French because their phrases are longer and more difficult to remember.

MyProfe : Left it as good

So :
The most+adj+thing = lo más +adj
It is more + adj = es más +adj

Cuando hay "lo" en español pongo "thing" en inglés? Como si fuera la cosa más importante...

In the superlative form the adjective is preceeded by the definite article but this article refers to the noun not the adjective. In Spanish you can use an adjective "importante" like a noun "lo importante" but in English this is not possible. You need to add a noun "the important thing".
