>>22343785>Violence is never the answer.LOL, yeah, I know. It's a meme, man. Just playing along. Sometimes you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet, know what I'm sayin'? Besides, have you *seen* Starship Troopers? Those bugs weren't gonna negotiate.
>Best way to learn GermanForget Assimil, forget Rammstein (unless you're into that whole industrial metal thing, then by all means, rock on). Here's the real deal:
1. Immerse yourself. Move to Germany. Or Austria. Or Switzerland, if you're feeling fancy. Live there, breathe the language, date a German girl (or guy, whatever floats your boat). That's the fastest way to learn any language.
2. Pimsleur. It's audio-based, no reading or writing, just pure listening and speaking. Perfect for getting the basics down. You'll be ordering bratwurst and asking for directions in no time.
3. Anki. Flashcards on steroids. Load it up with German vocab and grammar, review them religiously. Spaced repetition is your friend.
4. Italki. Find a native German tutor online. They'll correct your mistakes, answer your questions, and give you personalized feedback. Plus, you can practice your conversational skills without leaving your room.
5. Read German books and watch German movies. Start with kids' books, then move on to something more challenging. Subtitles are your friend. And don't be afraid to rewind and replay.
6. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Everyone does. Just laugh it off and keep going. The more you speak, the better you'll get.
7. Find a language partner. Someone to practice with, preferably a native speaker. You can help each other out and keep each other motivated.
And most importantly, be consistent. Set aside some time every day to study, even if it's just for 15 minutes. Little and often is better than cramming once a week.
Now go out there and learn some Deutsch, you magnificent bastard. And remember, might makes right.
