Please, help me /int/. How can I learn german alone, with no

>>76642871
Well... You seem to speak English pretty well. You're honestly about a quarter of the way there.

Ich bin ein Berliner

Go to Germany
Survive learn it by force

>>76642882
Thanks. The real problem now is to face the next 3 quarters.
>>76642893
Gut (unique thing I know how to speak in german)
>>76642930
I'm too young to do such a thing

Here you go mate

I started doing it about 3 months ago. I began with a basic grammar book to get the basic rules out of the way and learn all the cases and stuff(except the genitive, I left it out for the moment since apparently it is not used that often and is not essential for a beginner).
Meanwhile I practiced with Duolinguo, which is ok for a beginner I guess.

Now I'm watching some basic subtitled content on youtube. I often have to stop and look up stuff on a dictionary but with practice you start to get better.

I found this one pretty good

So, Duolingo could help me?

>>76643141
For a start, yeah, I guess so. After a while it gets a bit repetitive or frustrating at times, but maybe it's the Italian version that is not well developed yet.

>>76643141
Started 3 months ago. I do about 1-2 hours a day.
Consistency is key.
1. Sign up for Duolingo
2. Torrent glossika German and look up sentence mining
3. add all your shit to a huge Anki deck
4. listen to a Pimsleur course per day to work on listening and speaking
5. rinse and repeat

My tips for you: don't worry about studying Grammar, just learn how to say basic stuff automatically and correctly.

A few more months of this and I'll start listening to intermediate materials and reading the news.

>>76643169
After Duolingo, what do you suggest for me? Should I try some basic literature?
>>76643193
>Consistency is key
I really think so. The unique problem is if I can keep some routine as yours. Investing at least 1 hour per day is really necessary, or less should already be sufficient?

>>76643241
It depends on your goals. They say it takes about 750 hours of deliberate practice to reach fluency in German. Personally, I want to get there sooner rather than later, so 750 hours/ 1.5 hours a day = 500 days til fluency.

Of course you can't expect to take breaks in your studies for weeks at a time and expect to still be where you left off. Nor can you expect 5 hours in one day to be as valuable as 5 hours over 5 days.

>>76643285
Do you know if these numbers account only vocabulary learning or if they also include grammatical learning? As I said, grammatic will not really be a problem to me.

>>76643241
Not sure, I was thinking to proceed as I did with English, just watch/read any sort of material as long as I do it daily with consistency. I think with any language the main obstacle is getting past the initial phase of complete lack of understanding.

>>76643344
everything about the language

>>76643348
You've a good point: the initial phase of learning the language- one you called a "complete lack of understanding"- tends to be the hardest of the phases. Interesting.

>>76643369
So I think that maybe I'll need less time per day. It'd be really interesting if there was some research accounting the steps of learning separately.
