Best place to learn German?

It's a cool language, but the country has the world's lowest birthrate so in a few decades it'll be about as useful as Latin.

Why would you want to learn German? If you plan visiting their soon learn Syrian.

Probably Germany or Austria.

You are talking to someone who has spent 6 years at school learning Latin. I don't care if it will die. I just want to learn it for fun.

For me, I like to learn modern or young German so I use hip-hop as a way to learn the lingo as well as slang words. I don't want to sound like a walking textbook

As far as websites go, I use http://www.leo.org/ because it has an array of possible words you are looking for rather than just an assumed match.

Grammar is not so bad because English and German share a common origin. The conjugated or changed verb almost always stays as the second word or position in the sentence.

Start small and learn all the genders that German assigns to its words. Masculine, neutral and feminine all have distinct changes through the language.

English just assumes "the", but German changes "the" depending on the noun's place in the sentence. For example, masculine nouns carry "der" for the word "the":

Der > Den > Dem > Des

Subject > Direct object > Indirect Object > Possessive

(Nominative) > (Accusative) > (Dative) > (Genetive)

"The pen sits on Axel's table" becomes:
"Der Kugelschreiber sitzt auf dem Tisch des Axels"

The pen took on nominative case because it is the subject. So "the" stays der. The table is just a location and not a direct object in the sentence, so "der Tisch" took on the dative case to become "dem Tisch". The table belongs to Axel though, so Axel is represented as a male object (being male of course) as "des Axels". Axel is in the genitive case.

Only the male form of "the" does this. Feminine and neutral nouns succumb to different changes.

On another note, the genetive case is dying out. It takes a lot to say all of that. I might say "Der Kuli sitzt auf dem Tisch von Axel." or "Der Kuli sitzt auf Axels Tisch." They would get what I am saying

check out the /int/ sticky

there are tons of strayaboos in Germany who migrate to australia, maybe stick to them.
or go to /int/, there's an eternal /deutsch/ thread talking about politics and Drachenlord. Great way to learn the language.

More literally it would be "The pen sits on the table of Axel.
