What is a good way to improve one’s German language skills?
I studied German in college, but haven’t spoken it for years. I can speak some German and read the language ok, but have a hard time understanding German when someone is speaking it (especially if they are talking really fast). Any suggestions on how to "brush up" on German without living in Germany or spending a lot of time in a class room?
Watch German TV on cable or satellite.

Find some podcasts or other MP3 files and listen to them over and over and over.
There’s a really good site from Radio Deutsche Welle
http://www.dw-world.de/dw/0,1595,2548,00.html
It’s a site with High Quality MP3 recordings There are also PDF documents of written work to learn the written language, you can use them or not. There are several levels from Beginner to Professional. The courses are far from boring, being based around a cute story about a man who’s constant companion is an invisible imp. And best of all, it’s free.
have fun.
