Hi ladies!
I recently reconnected with my family in Austria and I'm kicking myself for not studying German in school. I now want to learn it so I can talk with them a bit more and make it easier for them, but I'm not sure where to start.
It was so easy learning it in school and I enjoyed it, but all of these years later, I'm afraid, especially since German is so much harder than Spanish!
Do you have recommendations for local resources - schools, programs, etc -- or anything online? How did you learn your new language and what do you recommend for me?
Move along, nothing to see here.....
Re: Learning a new language?
So ironic, I took German all through school and am kicking myself for not taking Spanish! I took some German at IUPUI and they do have a great program--though I took courses as a traditional student, and not the weekend programs.
Also, I have heard awesome things about roseta stone. One friend used it to learn Italian for a trip, and another used it to learn medical Spanish, as she is a Dr.
Also, IMHO, you can pick up German quickly as there are a lot of cognates with English--words that sound the same in both languages. GOOD Luck!!!
