I was born in Poland and we moved to Germany when I was a kid. As a child I learned it quite easily (and fortunately I was on a school full of migrant children - today you would call it "Problemschule" here in Germany, I guess - so nobody laughed at me), but my parents still don't get used to it after more than 30 years and struggle with it on a daily basis.

I'm a native German speaker and I have very strong feelings about this because it still trips me up when transcribing number groups by ear. If you ask me to write something down, spell out every digit individually so I don't have to pause every time to find out if you are going to say e.g. "drei", "dreißig" or "dreiundzwanzig". And for the love of god don't say "und" (and) before the final group either. But then again, even three digit groups pose problems (especially when the final group has fewer digits) - is the pause in "einhundert ... dreiundzwanzig" because it's two numbers or because you hesitated?
