Learning a new language

Ok so basically Im trying to learn German by myself because Im going over there soon, and I have absolutely no idea where to start, any tips?

Also if anyone else is interested in learning a language use this thread for advice, updates etc

Learn what you can now, it'll be easier when you go there because you'll be immersed in it. You'll pick it up pretty quickly.

Whats a good way to learn, has anyone ever used Rosetta Stone or anything like that?

German's pretty easy to learn, it's not a very complex language.

"I can teach you how to speak my language Rosetta stone"

I want to learn Japanese, or maybe Korean. Lot of Korean and Japanese folk over here so it would be useful.

I want to learn Chinese.

Can you speak any other languages Harrold?

Why does no one like French?

Cultural fact:

They wave like this in Germany



You should probably do it if you don't want to look out of place.

I've been to Germany before, they kind of frown at that these days..

How times change.

I am the man known as Ryan
I have a cock the size of a lion
Even if a woman had a hinge
It would be too big for their minge
So I'll stick to shagging my dyson

Is that mine?

Indeed.

Fucking hell that was some time ago, where did you find that and what made you post it

It was in an old thread about poetry or something, I was just looking through some of my old posts and saw it and laughed really hard so decided to post

I just found it. There was a different thread with some better ones from everyone. I did one about my days at work which I was quite proud of.

I need to get back in touch with my poetic side.

That was easy. Found it.

Really old thread

I'm doing German at school, it's not too difficult

you fuck your vacuum cleaner!?

Simple, just use the German Muzzy.

Submerse yourself. For a football fan, football would be the most direct route. Follow people who tweet in German on Twitter, check German news sites everyday, etc.

Also, practice, practice, practice.

My German isn't that great these days but I understand and can respond to a lot of everyday stuff.

Can't see why you'd want German, it's only useful for what Switzerland and actual Germany? Despite the country being beautiful the traditional Germans are not nice at all... Bit like the French in that respect. Rosetta Stone is very good and doing stuff like Rei said helps a lot.

French is gay man. Only you want to learn it.

As I say, Im going over there, plus I've kind of got this thing going with a girl over there. Also it seems the most similar to English
