    Master it very easily? NO

    German is a westgermanic language just like English, but it still is fully inflected with 3 genders and 4 cases. It is easier than most african and asian languages, but more work than any romanic or most germanic languages, and a lot harder than Esperanto

    If adult English-speakers learn A German language similar to English -- how many German languages are there? --  can they master it WITH EASE?

    Yes, German is a very easy language for English speakers.  I was able to translate German for money three years after starting to learn it.

    There are native English speakers who master German close to perfection. A living example is an Australian historian named Christopher Clark. It seems to be hard though, determination will be necessary.
