learning german,................?

We Answered:

With the Berlitz books and CD I was able to learn enough Italian and German to function for a month overseas ! I think it's really important to have an audio version available as pronunciation is key and you can't always get it right from text only.

In addition I found two useful links for pronunciation:

Choose the German Language. You can type any German words or sentences and afterwards you can listen to them (choose the speed and the person
as you like).

Hi, what is the best software to start learning german for a beginner?

We Answered:

Let me preface my answer by saying this: Rosetta Stone is a decent program BUT it doesn't teach you the language. It teaches vocabulary. There's a big distinction. Therefore, Rosetta is certainly not the method I would recommend to a beginner that hopes to SPEAK the language. Rosetta Stone, like other flashcard based methods (digital or not), helps expand your vocabulary base but they will not teach you the core of the language or conversational skills. Knowing many words doesn't mean you can speak the language. I usually recommend Pimsleur to beginner students. If you want a method that focuses on conversational skills (and reading skills), Pimsleur is the reference imo. It's a real confidence builder, which is essential for new students. You will learn to train your ear to understand natives (an essential part of early learning often overlooked by other methods), develop very good pronunciation and acquire the core structures and grammar of your new language (exactly what RS fails to do.) It's also almost half the price of RS (check Amazon.) Once you are finished with Pimsleur, that's when a vocabulary builder method such as Rosetta (there are cheaper alternatives though like BYKI, Babble, etc.) has its place. Daily conversation in the language after completing Pimsleur is really ideal. Good luck.

How do i listen to german speaches online?

We Answered:

There are plenty of German language bits on youtube.
If you want to hear political speach, here is one possibility:
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=…

- it's excerpts from a TV debate between candidates for German Prime Minister.

You can simply search for German Lessons or German language - and get gazillions of bits to watch and listen to.

Good luck.
