One problem is that people use "weird" to mean both "unfamiliar" and "complicated/illogical". German word order is not particularly complicated, but is just unfamiliar to English speakers. Similarly there's nothing complicated or illogical about Irish's VSO order, it's just different from English. Czech, by contrast, has a very complicated word order, although most native speakers are blissfully unaware of this because they've never had the experience of trying to explain to a non-native speaker why one way of saying a sentence "just sounds better" than another. Norwegian doesn't strike me as particularly "weird" by either definition. One final note: Duo's teaching method tends to highlight word order differences between the source and target language because you are continually switching back and forth. It's less of an issue in real world situations, where you are generally speaking the same language you are hearing or writing the same language you are reading.

Haha! Apparently I need to get further in this course.

Irish word order is weirder because the verb goes first. And I see that you're learning Irish, so ok.

Now check out Dutch and Turkish xD. You get used to it though.
