Re: Which is more complicated ? German grammar or Russian gramma
Not in vain Russian is called "Великий и могучий"...) I'm Russian-speaking. When I read different questions from those who study it, I sometimes fall in thoughts: foreigners have to understand the things, Russian don't even think about!)) I wish you all a lot of luck and patience in learning Russian!
I've been learning German for about 2 years and a half. Yeah, it's rather difficult too, but I believe that someday I will succeed. I'm looking forward to that day, when I speak German fluently and correctly)
Re: Which is more complicated? German grammar or Russian grammar
German is my native language, but looking at the grammatical structures of German and Russian I'd be hard-pressed to say which is harder. The Russian verb system, for instance, is a lot easier than the German one. No past tense to speak of, no passive to speak of, no grammatical subjunctive (only an auxiliary verb бы) etc. German has three different past tenses and two future tenses, each with six conjugational forms and in both active and passive, and two subjunctive conjugations in addition to a subjunctive using an auxiliary verb.
Cases may be slightly easier in German than in Russian. German articles and when to use them seem to be awfully hard for Russians, at least. ;) Verb aspect is absent from German. Compounding (glueing words together to form new words) is practically an art form in German.
I suppose we can call it even. ;)

Russian...no contest. I thought German was difficult until I studied Russian. Funny thing, I gave up on German but persevered with Russian. :fool"
