Step 1

Think of a language that you would be interested in. Don’t pick one that just sounds like it will be easy. If you chose one that sounds easy, but you are not interested in the language, it will be hard for you to learn.

Step 2

Get a Dictionary that translates from English to whatever language you want to learn.
Book mark the site: http://www.Babalfish.com. It will translate most words from English to several other common languages.

Step 3

Get some flash cards of the language you want to learn. You can also get some 3/5 cards and make your own.
Carry them with you wherever you go. If you are stuck in traffic, waiting in a long line, or whatever reason, you have free time, pull out the flash cards and study.
I have met a few women, because they noticed I was studying my German flash cards.

Step 4

Get a book on the language you are interested in. I have the book: Complete Idiots Guide to Learning German. It is a good book.
You can also find tons of other books out on learning languages. Maybe go to a college book store and find a text book.

Step 5

Order the Rosetta Stone program. I haven’t tried it yet myself, but people say it is a good program.

Step 6

You have to devote a lot of time to studying a language if you intend to learn it. Try studying a couple of hours a day.

Step 7

Make friends with some people who are fluent in the language you want to learn. Have them help you out.

Step 8

After studying for a while, you should pick up on the language well enough to test it out on some people who speak it all the time.
Go to the bars or something and talk to people who have an accent in the language you are learning. If they say they speak that language, then go ahead and try it out.
Maybe even take a trip to a country where they speak it.

    Grammar is the most feared aspect of learning any language. On the other hand, since learning the grammar rules is guaranteed to improve your language skills faster than 
    anything else, language students should learn to love it! By systematically learning each core concept, you will quickly understand how the German language works, and be 
    able to put it to use straight away.

    At the beginning, the most daunting aspect of learning grammar is always the fact that you don’t know what you don’t know! If you’re like most students, the thought of 
    learning lots of technical rules is quite overwhelming. The good news, however, is that it doesn’t have to be. If you take it one step at a time, you will be able to learn 
    grammar quickly. Let’s look at how to do it…

    Focus on 1 Topic per day

    When you have a big goal like learning the entire German grammar, you need to break this down.

    Take it one step at a time. Look at only one topic, and give this your 
    complete focus. If your goal for the day is to learn one single topic, it becomes much easier.

    For German, you should break it up into the following:

    The 3 noun genders (masculine, feminine and neuter)Definite articles (der, die, das), and indefinite articles (ein, eine, ein)The four German cases (nominative, accusative, genitive and dative)Adjective endingsComparative and superlative adjectivesAdverbsPersonal pronounsPossessive pronounsOther pronouns (indefinite, relative, demonstrative, reflexive)Verbs (weak, strong and mixed)Verb tenses (present, perfect, imperfect, future, conditional, pluperfect and subjunctive)Imperative verbsPrepositionsSome of these topics will take longer than others.

    For instance, the four German cases, adjective endings and verbs in particular are the most difficult to learn. Break these 
    down further into smaller chunks and learn each main point one at a time.

    Memorize 1 Example for Each Topic

    One of the main areas that students struggle with when learning German grammar is remembering all of the various word endings. The best way to get around this is to 
    memorize one example for each topic. For example, adjective endings change depending on the gender of the noun, the case, and whether an article precedes the noun. 
    There are 48 possible endings! Not all of these endings are different, but they do present a challenge. By breaking this up into the different groupings, and learning one 
    simple example for each, you will soon find that you do understand and remember them all. Furthermore, since you’ve memorized those examples, you’ll easily be able to 
    apply the same logic to other words in the same case and gender.

    Revise and Continue with the Next Topic

    The following day, prior to starting your next grammar topic, spend 5-10 minutes revising the key points and examples from the previous day. This short amount of revision 
    will make a huge difference in your ability to understand and remember these grammar topics going forward.

    In summary, it is possible to learn German grammar in a short amount of time when you break it up into single topics and focus your attention on one at a time. Memorize 
    one example in each situation and then you’ll be able to apply this logic to other words in the same position. In this article we talked about one topic per day, but this doesn’t 
    have to be the case. Take one topic per week if you like; whatever works best for you. German grammar is a challenge, but remember that once you understand the key 
    points, you will be able to speak much better German much sooner. Good luck, and have fun learning this wonderful language!

      German, Conversational: Learn to Speak and Understand German with Pimsleur Language Programs (Pimsleur Instant Conversation)

      This Conversational program contains 8 hours of interactive audio-only instruction, effective language learning with real-life spoken practice sessions.

The Pimsleur Method gives you quick command of German structure without tedious drills. Learning to speak German can actually be enjoyable and rewarding. The key reason most people struggle with new languages is that they aren’t given proper instruction, only bits and pieces of a language. Other language programs sell only these pieces — dictionaries; grammar books and instructions; lists of hundreds or thousands words and definitions; audios containing useless drills. They leave it to you to assemble these pieces as you try to speak. Pimsleur enables you to spend your time learning to speak the language rather than just studying its parts.

        Is There a Secret to Learning a Foreign Language?

           By Kathy Steinemann

         

        You know it’s true. Everyone has told you. You have to spend as much time as possible listening to a foreign language. But how?

        You know it’s true. Everyone has told you. You have to spend as much time as possible listening to a foreign language. But how?

        Co-Workers – Friends – Family

        If you are fortunate enough to have people around you who speak the language, spend as much time as you can with them. Be forewarned, though. Daily conversation with friends and relatives will probably be filled with idioms and grammar that would make your foreign language teacher nauseous.

        Internet Broadcasting

        There are many free internet radio stations. They broadcast day and night, 7 days a week. All you have to do is find them. Try internet searches like the following in your favorite search engine:

        • free internet radio German
        • free internet radio Norwegian
        • free internet radio French
        • internet radio stations Spanish
        • internet radio stations Portuguese

        Disc jockeys and talk show hosts may not use perfect grammar. However, news broadcasts are usually correct.

        Books on Tape or CD

        You can purchase audio books online at sites like Amazon.

        Unfortunately, not all audio books are created equal. Sometimes the narration is cluttered with distracting loud sound effects and music. The volume may vary from horrendously loud to whisper-soft. If you can listen to a sample before purchase, do so. Never purchase more than one audio book from the same publisher or narrator until you are sure that they produce acceptable recordings. Sometimes the narrator’s volume will vary so much during a reading that it makes the book almost useless.

        Be on the lookout for audio bundles that include a printed copy of the book – excellent for learning purposes!

        TV Channels

        Check your cable or satellite TV lineup. You may find one or more channels in the language you are trying to learn.

        Movies and Television Series on DVD

        Most larger centers and internet sites like Amazon have foreign language productions with English sound tracks and subtitles. Try to watch everything at least once without subtitles. Pay attention to the lips of the speakers as they pronounce words. Lipreading is part of the language learning process.

        If you prefer to buy English productions that have been remastered for foreign language markets, you will lose the lipreading advantage – and you may have to purchase or hack a DVD player so that it will play DVDs from other regions. There is a link at the bottom of this article that goes to a page with more specific information.

        North American TV series like M*A*S*H and Golden Girls have 1/2-hour episodes. Omit the intro and closing credits and you are left with about 20 minutes of material. Try to learn a few new words of vocabulary each time you watch an episode.

        What are You Waiting For?

        Take advantage of all the opportunities that technology has to offer!
