I suppose there's some nuances. Although the time-related topic I find the most vexing in foreign languages is telling the year. I mean, yesterday I think I spent at least half an hour on that, with the single Welsh sentence I managed to figure out... It's less dire with German since at least it uses a single numbering system (as opposed to, you could say, 3 different ones in Welsh). And is, indeed, relatively similar to English. Especially with words for "thousand" and "hundred", of which it similarly tends to avoid the "thousand", as I've come to think simply a cumbersome word to pronounce.
