@SW-User Like most languages, German has grammatical gender. It is unrelated to natural gender. German for "girl" is "das Maedchen" (neutral).
French has le beurre (male), le soleil, la lune, le garage, la voiture, le couteau, la fourchette. Usually the gender in French comes from the corresponding Latin word; but Latin had three genders, and the neutral gender became male in French (and other Romance languages).
English lost its grammatical gender many centuries ago, in the Middle English period. The Middle English of the 13th century was in transition to the loss of a gender system.
German is just a little bit old-fashioned 😏

I studied German for 3 and-a-half years back in high school. I think I remember the alphabet and numbers, greetings and some of the dirty-word-of-the-day's one teacher put up on the chalkboard.
I didn't put any effort in learning it beyond what I heard in class and never have had the opportunity to use it.
