    I found a german language course, split up in 4 parts. Each part only costs €100, which is a bargain if you consider the value you get for knowing another language. I studied basic german for 2 years at gymnasium level (equiv. high school), but that was almost 10 years ago, so I figure I'll start from scratch again. Anybody else here planning on learning another language? If all goes well, I'll dive into another language later on. French would be nice to know. :) -- Berlin rules.

    The best way to learn a language is still to go and stay in the country of which you want to learn the language. Auf jeden Fall wünsche ich dir viel Spass beim lernen der deutschen Sprache. Et personnellement, je prefere quand meme le francais. :cool: I have the opportunity to start and learn spanish in september (They give foreign language lessons in my company for almost nothing), so ... I'm waiting ... ;) ~RaGE();

                                        Sie haben sehr huepsche augen. I think thats correct. Sie is formal if I'm not mistaken. Du hast sehr huepsche Augen is familiar. I grew up speaking German at home (my parents are from Germany). I've lost quite a bit in the past 5-10 years, though. I have more trouble with vocabulary and grammar than I used to. I should make more effort to read and speak it. It would be a shame to lose that. BW "In a world full of people, only some want to fly,Isn't that crazy?" - Seal

One big fat grammar book, and four school books. The school books are actually two course book sets. One set contains a text book (Textbuch) and a quiz book (Übungsbuch). I have a feeling this will be fun! :) -- Berlin rules.

                                          Thought to be honest German is hardly a sexy language... not unless you like the leather, chains and whips deal. Lena said something to me in German the one night and I thought she was cursing me, so I stopped what I was doing to which she yells in English "No you fool, carry on!"
