How to learn german
It made me
Fantasterific
 "Hard, but worth it."
How I did it: Three words; Rosetta freakin' Stone. Seriously, you'd be surprised how well and how quickly it works, books cant compare. Rosetta Stone is quite expensive ($200+ for one 'level' there are 3 levels) But if you're willing to invest it is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo worth it. Lessons & tips: Don't give up, it can be hard at first and the grammar is a PAIN but... Ich liebe Deutsch! Resources: Rosetta Stone

Hypnotika is decluttering my desktop!
How I did it: By joining Goethe institute in my country. Then continued learning at university, and traveled twice to Germany on a language course trip.Immersing myself fully in the language is like learning to swim, you float eventually when you relax. I stopped paying so much attention to the little things i said and started to speak spontaneously. I am far from perfect, but at least i can read articles and understand what they re about, listen to Ra… Read how I did it…
hollyiswhere loves opportunity.
How I did it: I moved to Germany. Sure I should have taken German instead of Spanish but I didn't know I would move there.I landed knowing two words "ja" und "nein." I took a class and found it so frustrating and understood how hard it is to immigrate to Canada not speaking English (or French in Quebec). I got mad at my teacher one day saying, " I don't need to know if it is der, das, den or dem -- I need to know how to ask for milk at the grocery stor… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I took it as an option to learn for my gcses. And i basically was taught it before hand at school. It most,y depends on your teacher becaus ei have good and bad teachers. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Persistance was the biggest thing. I think that's the case with any foreign language. You won't learn to speak German over night, but you will make progress. The more you study and practice, the easier it gets. I started learning German during my sophomore year of high school and I'm about to start my sophomore year of college. I still have a lot to learn, but I just spent two months in Germ… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I'm actually still learning German. I started in Brazil, where I made the basic level in a community school. Then, with the proximity of the travel to Germany, I started to have lessons with a private teacher two days a week. I've been in Germany since December last year. From December until March, I was at Goethe Institut in Mannheim, where I made two intensive courses. It was pretty worth. Now I'm studying in Ulm and improving my German… Read how I did it…
I’m currently doing an intensive german course. Every morning 3 hours of german pushed into my brain :D
I’m also living in a german-speaking country (or something simillar to that, since here they speak Schweizer-Deutsch).
Bill Almost three more weeks until the semester ends!
I have already signed up for German 102. I have found German just takes a lot of repetition. I have fallen behind a little bit and it is mainly due to some burn out that I experienced. However, I am very refreshed that the semester is almost over and this have given me plenty of energy to really take this class down with a bang. As of right now I can make basic sentences which I find to be exciting.
Antonia39 is looking forward to not cooking tonight...
Just had a good idea, while watching a German (subtitled) soap on Internet – one of my children is learning German at school, and i might as well use his exercise books to teach myself… Also the German people i know will probably be very willing to help out…
Step one is taken then…
Now for my fluent conversations – and understanding the language when spoken to me… Weyhey!!!
Kelso A nightmare straight from an Otto Dix.
German courses aren’t offered at the school(s) I’m attending/will be attending in the future, so I’ll be taking on language myself. Hooray for independent learning!
The only tricky part will be finding quality resource materials (and, if possible, classes and tutoring options) for the language. Hit and miss, I suppose.
I’m starting to realize just how much I like foreign languages. :-)

I have decided to practise for 30 minutes a week. That is truly a tiny goal! But I hope to increase my study time as I go along so that eventually my practise time will be a natural habit. I am in no rush (I’m learning because I am interested not because I am moving to Germany or taking examinations in the language). Hopefully by doing it this way I will actually stick to my goal.

Well, I still made mistakes that I shouldn’t have made and mispelled some words, but overall it was pretty solid. I got 102% with the 9% extra credit that I had gotten. So, without the extra credit I had gotten a 93% which is a solid A-. I can appreciate this test score and I will try to do much better on the next test.
hanikac is crazy.
I finished Pimsleur German 1 and 2. They were GREAT! Now I’m taking Conversational German I at my community college and it’s started a bit slow but I’m glad I have something that kind of forces me to keep studying. I haven’t been using my other books or software much lately, but they do seem good; I just wish I could figure out a structured way of using them in addition to my classes.
At this point, I can understand a good amount of what I read and hear, but I’m still not confident speaking much. I think my accent is getting better, though.

Ist er dein Onkel. (RIGHT) I totally mixed up the accusitive form of du and the possesive form of du on the test I took overall, it cost me a cool 19.5 points on the test. I cannot believe I did that; however, I will never mix them up again. The 19.5 point loss on the test hurt; well, it hurt me more than my grade.
