I wanted to learn German since 2006. Got into it a bit back then, then stopped, but the interest stayed. So now I'm back at seriously learning German. This time I take it personal *determined gaze*. I (surprisingly) remembered the URL of the site I went to three years ago, which is (unfortunately) only for written German. So with the same seriousness and determination, I went to look for another media that would provide me with pronunciation/spoken learning. I found a podcast. So now I'm setting myself the objective of doing one written lesson and listening to one podcast per day, minimum.

I began lessons on livemocha.com, and so far it seems like a good resource, though so far I feel it lacks on the grammar side. I might just abandon the podcasts and go only with livemocha and cronimus.free.fr.

Now if German is your native language, here is how you can help:
- Point me toward any resource that could help me to learn German. Could be pretty much any media, but take note that right now my vocabulary is pretty restricted. Here is a link to the vocabulary of the lessons 1 to 9 (As of April 13 I'm at lesson 11).
- Give any sort of advice. Like insider's Hint & Tips.
Now these two things didn't require much implication. If you aren't afraid of commitment, you could always be some sort of a teacher, by giving me spoken and/or written lessons/exercises. This of course would be the most helpful and motivating thing.

I'm keeping this blog post for serious related comments. If you want to encourage me or say random shit just PM me. I approve comments myself so if you're not sure if yours is appropriate post it anyway.

Finished written lesson 21
Finished spoken podcast 4
Finished 44% of livemocha's German 101

<a href="http://sportsboy.newgrounds.com/">http://sportsboy.newgrounds.com/</a> knows German. You should talk to him.

Isn't he your brother? I want a native speaker if possible.

He was in Germany. If you don't want to talk to him, he could hit you up with Lena or some other person he knows. OR DON'T.

I'll wait until I have quite some vocabulary before. Unless someone volunteers by himself.

Lol, I know a user from Germany, but I doubt he has time for this kind of thing.

That'd be <a href="http://danman87.newgrounds.com/">http://danman87.newgrounds.com/</a>
I wiash you good luck :)
I don't like german myself haha.
Still, good luck!

I prefer not to target individuals because I don't want them to feel obligated or anything.

My sister uses <a href="http://www.livemocha.com/">http://www.livemocha.com/</a> for spanish sometimes. I haven't given it a very good look, but it seems like it could be helpful.

Looks good! I'm subscribing!

I signed up to that LiveMocha site, it looks pretty interesting, have you done anything with it yet?

Nah not yet I'll probably begin lessons today

[Edit:]
I began. I went through 2 lessons.

I speak and write perfect german. I can help you with things should you require help.

Thank you I'll probably contact you when I have enough vocabulary to sustain a conversation, be it written or spoken.

Ich spreche sehr gut deutsch, denn ich bin ein deutscher. Ich würde dir sehr gerne helfen ^^. bis bald!

I speak and write perfect german because I am a german Guy ^^
if you need help, write me...
have a nice day

Well thanks a lot, now I have two German contacts. Like I said before I can't sustain a conversation yet, but I did understand quite a lot of what you wrote.

Hi, im german. if u want to talk, feel free to add me on msn: daewoo999@web.de

or just write me an e-mail. im 15 and of course no teacher, but i guess my german isnt too bad, nor is my english.
so like i said, if u want to talk, add me.

Added. I didn't know web.de was an available e-mail adress for msn though.

Nun, mach einfach weiter so. Je öfter du es sprichst, schreibst und hörst, desto besser wirst du. Genau auf die Art und Weise hab ich auch Englisch gelernt.

...
I'm still only a beginner, I only understood bits of what you wrote.

OMG so many poooost´s

You conntacted me and seriously... Why do you contacted meh???^^

Xelbone1... sure you're german? Das höhrt sich häftigst nach Anfängerdeutsch an XD
I would prefer say "Ich bin Deutsch und kann desshalb auch gut deutsch sprechen,..."

I'm German and watch out for people how'd like to make a Flash project with me...

I'm using Flash 5...
for more info's: Go to my Profile!!!

I just contacted a bunch of German people.

I just got the Rosetta Stone program to learn French. Although it is expensive, it's definetly worth it. I was saving up, and I'm amazed. It's much better than anything else I've tried.
It makes everything fun, too. It'll have you mainly-fluent in 6 months, if you follow procedure. Reading, writing, speaking, listening.

Of course, if you have other ways, I'm sure they're great too. Good luck, man.

I don't want to pay, but eh if you're learning French add me on AIM and we'll have a French conversation!

Well, just keep on continuing. The more you speak, write and hear it, the better you will get. I've learned english the exact same way.
