Go to classes of german, plus practice by your own. If you don't have an structured learning, with all the time it takes for the knowledge to sink in, you are going to stumble many times.

It is not so much that the classes in themselves can teach you more than a good book or long vocabulary practice, but they force you (if they're good) to speak in the language and gain feedback from other people who are dealing with the same.

Plus once you set yourself goals (i. e. finishing third course and completing the A1 on the european frame), you can identify what your strengths and weakknesses are. Thus, being able to know what problems you will face with the language.

I took 2.5 semesters of German in high school as well as 1 semester of College German that tought me everything up to the Dativ case. Not in college anymore so courses aren't an option.

Probably going to close the thread now that I got some good answers.

why does he use oversized shirts? he is big enough and that makes him look even bigger.

maybe its cause the sweat would start showing up sooner in tighter clothes.

Pirate Sandberg, "German for Reading."

Do ad it and don't skip things you don't understand.

Get an intermediate grammar book, and start translating simple German books by hand.

What's a good way to learn Latin? I was planning to get a book on grammar and an english-latin dictionary then work through various latin texts.

I'm not bothered about being able to write Latin but I'd like to be able to read things in Latin.
