learn to speak German

To be able to speak German has always been a dream of mine, however just recently I found a site called livemocha.com It allows you to learn German! Since the hubby is in the army, there is always that chance we could end up in Germany since we have several bases and installations over there! It would be useful to learn at least a bit of German so I can communicate effectively if I need to go off base and the people I run into cannot speak English.

Found a great community type web site to learn languages Busuu.com

I just had a telephone call all in German (about my internet connection). I had to give my birthdate, customer number, address, etc. Just like the things I’ve practised in class, but it made me so nervous. My heartrate’s still elevated.

I have been to Germany but I always wanted to be a part of Germany. I am thinking about living there. But if I do I need to speak German. So I will work on it.

I’ve been reading children’s stories, and writing down the words I don’t know – which is most of them :) – and their meanings from the dictionary. One book I have came with a CD so I can listen to the stories too.

Then later I go to the website “Quizlet.com” and make myself a list out of the words and test myself on them until I know them. I think it’s working!

I was watching TV last night and I could distinguish some of the words. It’s an improvement…

My parents are from Germany/Switzerland…I want to speak the language that my roots are so deeply buried in.

I was born in Germany and visited the country when I graduated. I loved it there! Hopefully I’ll be going again when I finish my degree… I want to be able to communicate !

i really wish to learn few simple words…

Ich habe lange hier nicht angekommon. Aber ich habe wahrend diser Zeit viel gemacht. Ich nehme mich an einer Deutschprüfung teil. Obwohl ich meine Leistung jetzt nicht erfahre, habe ich gute Laune. Denn ich fühle, es mir gut geht. Hoffe ich viel Glück!
