Der? Gendered nouns in other languages confuse my English mind.

Of course they do. There is no actual rule to it. You just have to know. Often words ending in "er" are male, but not all of them. It's one of the reasons German is so difficult. Just avoid it. English is easy and efficient.

Haha. If you just want to speak English, I think it is easier. But writing or reading aloud correct English, with all the bizarre nonsense its Germanic and Normannic history forced into it? It's a fucking nightmare.

Just an example: https://www.learnenglish.de/pronunciation/pronunciationpoem.html

And there are many, many more.
