How can I learn German with a busy schedule?

A good book is "German in 10 minutes a day".\nIt's a good book to learn the basics and it's structured for a busy person. \nMy friend used this book when he was first learning German. It must have worked for him, because when I visited him in Heidelberg, he was very comfortable with the language.\n\nEventually, you will need to listen to tapes/Cd's to become familiar with the language. Check your local schools for conversational German classes.\n\nI you know anyone who speaks the language, spend time with them and speak German.\n\nCan you take a German class at your school, for credit toward your degree?\n\nGood luck.

Working on it everyday is good.\n\nThe time varies based on which language, how much vocabulary and grammar you want/need to know, and your own interest and aptitude for languages.  Also on the method you use - immersion, ALM, Berlitz, or moving to France and being forced to use it.  There are other methods; i have no idea which is fastest or easiest. i found ALM to be painless.\n\nMARK TWAIN said \n" My philological studies have satisfied me that a gifted person ought to learn English (barring spelling and pronouncing) in 30 hours, French in 30 days, and German in 30 years. "\n\nPersonally, i think English would take longer than that ( how can you learn English WITHOUT spelling and pronouncing?) but who am i to argue with Mark Twain?

Use it constantly.  Write with it...learn slang and colloquialisms. Online chat is a good place for that.  And keep a vocabulary list. Learn and use at least one new word every day.

Oh, yes, way fun!  Cool grammar, cool music, neat words (loooong ones).  You don't have to sound like some mad evil monster either.  I personally find the language quite romantic (when spoken well).  Read neat poetry, too.  Nice nice people...everyone I've met, you try to speak German, they just compliment the heck out of you and say your german is so good! Germans think their language is more difficult than quantum physics, so anything you say is heartily welcomed.  Just try not to have the king or queen of grammar for a teacher, there's a lot of grammar, it's complicated, and you're better off picking it up slowly than trying to memorize it all at once.  Also, los!

Listen to a lot of radio and television broadcasts.  Just have them on, don't struggle to learn each word.  You'll start to get used to the rhythms and patterns of the language.\n\nGet to a library and borrow Sesame Street, children's songs and poems.\n\nThat's how I learned Spanish (not my native tongue).  When you think about it, babies learn by repetition.\n\nEven when I don't speak Spanish for a while, I can still recall the songs and that helps me get back into practice.\n\nHave fun - English is a confusing language - so learning rhythms and patterns will take the stress out of remembering all those words.

The key is to make time.  You need to be more organized.  Write out a schedule, anything that works for you.  You will find yourself with very little time for things if you do not try and make some.

I know this might sound weird, but I'd buy some language learning kits, the ones with tapes or cds and a workbook in them... and then pop the tape in at night while you're sleeping, it helped me out some. Languages are learned best when the person is at a very young age but the older you are the harder it is to learn.

The fastest way of learning a language is through total immersion. The internet is a great resource but you may want to check what site or class or program you are using. There are some ripoffs out there but I would have to say go for it if you find a reliable source.

There's a really good site from Radio Deutsche Welle\n\nhttp://www.dw-world.de/dw/0,1595,2548,00.html\n\nIt's a site with High Quality MP3 recordings and PDF documents of written work to learn the written language. There are several levels from Beginner to Professional. And best of all, it's free.\n\nhave fun.

Depends on the type of language (the same language groups as yours or not), and on task you wish to accomplish.\nShould you talk or write more?\nIn some languages you need to start from scratch even in alphabet. \n\n * If you gonna be novelist, it's very tough.\n   Theodor Dreiser did it the whole life, and still \n   his German English was not perfect enough\n * do you need verbally communicate in very efficient way:\n   (for example, convincing others to give up their \n   money for some good/bad/unknown purpose)?\n * do you need just read technical manuals?\n\nThe best way to lean new language is to forget your native language for a while. For example, babies learn language fantastically quickly. \n\nConclusion: be baby! (seriously) Open your mind to new.\nOur problem with any education is that we're pretty much the grown-ups in all and stopped being surprised (part of mind job) and absorb new things in the easiest possible way.

1) Try to speek with native speakers of English as much as you can.\n\n2) Try computer-aided language learning tools, They're great, you can hear the prununciation of english words (here's a list : http://www.lang.ox.ac.uk/library/call/sw/english.html )\n\n3) Listen to american television, with closed captioning on \n\n4) Try to get a course at Berlitz school : http://www.berlitz.com
