What is a good way to learn german without taking classes?
I plan on going to germany for a couple of weeks and i am wanting to learn german for when i go, but i don’t want to take any classes. any suggestions??
I was going to suggest for you to go to Germany, but as you already said, you’re going to be going at some point.
I would say look online for german kids programs and watch them, they are a very good way of learning.
If you have a lot of time on your hands, buy one of those self-teaching books and go by that. But I would recommend listening to the accent because you can’t always learn that from books.
I say repetition is key. Learn key sentences and repeat them over and over until you learn them. (then try to remember the sentence a week later and you’ll know if it stuck!)
People in Germany do learn English from a young age though, so being able to communicate with most of them shouldn’t be an issue even if you know zero German. Just don’t be rude by not learning anything! They are very friendly as long as you try, and I quite often found that the moment they heard my accent, or found out where I was from, they started speaking in English anyway! (I was there to improve my German before uni started) If you want to continue learning while you’re there, I would say that would be a great opportunity for you as long as you don’t let yourself talk in english too much!

Learning the German Language – The Secret of German Language Learning
By Michael Meier
If you want to learn the german language then this article is for you. You will discover the secret of German language learning. It is what separates those who learn to speak German quickly from those who fail to do so, even though they invest a lot of effort into their practice.
First of all, it should be noted that German is actually a language that is comparatively easy to learn for native English speakers. Because there are many related words in both languages, and the historical connection is still possible to see.
Take for example words like the English and. In German it is und. Other examples of these word relationships are fish, Fisch; paper, Papier; guarantee, Garantie; water, Wasser; bread, Brot; arm, Arm; nose, Nase; red, rot. Sure, these words have often different spellings and different pronunciations, but they are still a lot more similarities than to languages like Chinese, Japanese, Hindi and so on.
But the ultimate secret of German language learning is that you always want to learn phrases instead of single words. Because language really is used almost exclusively in phrases. When you learn phrases, it will become a lot easier to actually speak German faster.
Have you ever tried to learn a language by studying vocabulary and grammar? Well, it does not work so well. Because vocabulary mainly consists of single word or two-word combinations. But it still takes a lot of mental processing to then turn these individual vocabulary words into sentences that you can use in conversations.
Learning grammatical rules is even worse – because then you will have to process all kinds of rules before forming a sentence in your head. It’s almost like having to do a mathematical calculation in your head every time before you speak a sentence.
When you learn phrases instead of single words, then you will automatically learn the grammar. Think about it – as a child, you learned the grammar of your native language without having to study grammatical rules. That’s why speaking the language became natural and easy. If you travel around the world, you will find many people who have studied English for many years but are not able to speak it. Why? Because they have studied grammar and vocabulary, instead of practicing to speak the language. And the same is true for the German language even more – because the grammar is so complex. Even German people can become confused about grammar if they start to think about the rules – but if they don’t think about these rules, speaking the right way is of course completely natural to them.

If you are looking for german language courses, then read this article first. In the end, it does not matter how big and reputable a language school is – it matters what you get from it and how easy and fast it will make the process of language acquisition.
Many people think that they will get a good learning experience when they sign up for one of the major schools – the reasoning behind it is that if so many people sign up for their courses, there must be something to it.
And of course – these language schools do have well-designed coursework. But at the same time, learning by visiting an actual school building is actually a not so effective way of learning a language. A lot of time gets wasted just on going there and coming back a couple of times a week.
What’s more – there often are discussions and clarifications when some student does not understand a certain topic. This is good for the particular individual, but it slows down the learning process of the entire class dramatically. Many times, clarifications will be given on things that you are clear about already – simply because someone else doesn’t understand the subject properly.
They also tend to be quite expensive, and you will still have to do the largest part of your learning effort at home on your own.
In the time of the internet, nobody really needs to attend a language class anymore – it can all be done online. A lot faster, more efficient and also cheaper. With these kinds of German language courses, you can learn at your own pace. There often are also tutors who will help you to resolve individual questions and explain to you exactly what you want to know in a very fast manner. So you really get the best of both worlds.
To conclude this article, I want to leave you with one of the most valuable pieces of advice that I have ever been given when it comes to learning German: always learn phrases, not vocabulary!
This is something that so many people get totally wrong, because it is taught that way in school. But you really do not need to learn single words – instead, you want to learn phrases, because phrases are the building blogs of spoken language. It is a much faster way of mastering a language, particularly a language like German where there are many complicated grammatical rules.

What is the best way to learn German phrases?
I would like to learn german language, but I’ve heard there are many books and courses that use redundant phrases and speech in general.
What program/book/course would you recommend that isn’t too expensive and has good phrase exercises. I would really like to speak German well and be able to communicate with German folks and not sound like some dude that fell out of year 1952.
BTWm I’m on beginners level.
I totally know what you mean by redundant language. I attended class lessons and read couple of books and they all seemed kinda dated. Definitely check this out:
http://learngermanlanguage.net/best-online-german-program/
I’m using this program for 3 months now, and I can’t find any flaws. Language used in the program is very modern and it really helped me in my comminication with Germans (I have bunch of online German friends now and will go to Germany soon).
I paid $99.95 for it. There is a 60 day refund option, but I’m very happy with it and never asked for refund. Hope this helps 
How to learn German language on my own?
So I’ve decided to learn german language but alone, I don’t want any classes, private lessons. I’m looking for some online course, program or good books. I am also limited on investment, so anything above $100 is way off my league. Any suggestions?
Even if you said your budget limit is $500 I would give you the same recommendation. The program I used to jump from noob to intermediate level cost only $99,95. I also bought some books, they were in a price range from $8 to $20 but they were really boring and used a redundant phrases in speech lessons.
The program I’m using is very entertaining, full of games, quizzes and audio lessons. Those are great to listen if youre jogging, going to work etc. You can try it out and if you’re not satisfied, ask for refund (I think it’s 60 day money back guarantee).
