I love those compound words of theirs.
Kettle? Water cooker.
Gloves? Hand shoes.
Bra? Bosom holder.
Word order isn’t that bad once you get used to it. The cases though…

I struggle with the genders of words because it isn't much of a thing in English
but I seem to do okay with the word ordering.

But it's worse
There are 16 definite articles in theory, but only 6 actual words, which are reused in random ways making it even harder to work out what's going on.
Accusative? Let's just change the masculine 'the', and leave the rest the same. Dative? Let's reuse masculine nominative but now use it for neuter!*
*actual words may differ.

I too love Handschuh
(But it does still slightly annoy me that gloves are handshoes and not handsocks...)
