Of course it’s my personal POV. And it’s always good to see there are other opinions concerning this topic. The german language needs advocates – see above :) .

Hello! Very good and funny pic, especially because “Fühlungen” sounds almost like “feelings” because it seems a derivation of “fühlen”…
But I would like to qualify your affirmation that “the german language neither is an easy to learn nor an elegant language”. It’s important to note that this is a personal statement, not a generality. What is general, however, is that from our present knowledge about linguistics, the idea that there are easy and difficult languages is false (see for example Juan Carlos Morenos Cabrera: http://www.internetwebsolutions.es/libro/La-dignidad-e-igualdad-de-las-lenguas/isbn/978-84-206-6744-7). Your affirmation about “not an easy language” depends on your mother tongue and its similarity to the language you want to learn.
Likewise, how a language sounds to you (more or less “elegant” e. g.) is also a personal statement, i. e., everyone “feels” it different; to me, for example, German sounds very elegant (probably the same way, Spanish sounds elegant to a Spaniard, but less to me and so on)…
