Steps, tips, and advice to learning German fluently?

Linguists, and people with vast experience in learning languages will almost always agree on the fact that most language learning methods out there are 50-70 percent fluff! It's pretty easy to get away with telling you that you'll be able to speak a language when for example, someone says ';hello';, they're speaking English, and it doesn't mean they can actually communicate. Being semi-fluent means you have a functional comprehension of at least 65% in the conventional range of that language, while fluent would be anything greater than 80%. If you don't have the time to learn a language properly, and you're after something quick and easy, then you're probably headed towards disappointment. The best method to getting as far as you can get in the shortest period of time is called the “3 step”. The first step is to complete a FULL Pimsleur (MUST BE PIMSLEUR) course. Listen to each lesson at least 2 times, taking notes the first time with new vocabulary and studying before listening the second time. The 2nd step is to form a list of the 3,000 most commonly used words/vocabulary in English, to also include the eight parts of speech (verbs, nouns, pronouns, adverbs, adjectives, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections), which you can search the web for. Once you've formed the list, you need to find accurate generic-translations, which you can apply to most common case scenarios of that language(definatley the most challenging part of all this).Once that's done, make flash cards or whichever method works best for you in memorizing vocabulary, but try to include each word in a sentence, in addition to just the new word and it's meaning. After you've memorized all that, the 3rd step is to locate 4 movies that are preferably some kind of Disney movie, or anything of a slower pace. Childrens movies seem to work best for this. Watch the movie in the language you're trying to learn with good, quality English subtitles. Watch ONLY these same 4 movies continuously as much as possible, to the point where you know what's going to be said next. Try to plan completing each step in this order, exactly as described within a time-frame of about 8-10 months. When you're done, you should be somewhere in the range of “semi-fluency”, at the point where learning after the “3 step” is quick and easy, and being close to fluent after 2 years of using it everyday, and learning at least an additional 100 new vocabulary words a month during that time. You'll thank me when you're done!Steps, tips, and advice to learning German fluently?
The best way to learn a language is by using multiple methods. There are great computer programmes for learning languages out there, but they won't make you truly fluent, many of them are better at giving you a basic foundation for the language.





So if you want to use Rocket, Fluenz, or Rosetta Stone (all good programmes from what I've heard, though Rocket has a much better price than the other two). I've personally tried Rosetta Stone learning some German, and it does give you a good sense of the basics, but you need other ways to supplement your learning.





There are plenty of language books on Amazon that could help you, though try to get one that lets you write in it. Writing the language down by hand is good for helping you brain break everything down. Practising writing it down stimulate a whole other area of your bran than talking into a microphone to the computer.





Consider actual classes, if you live in a big city, it won't be hard finding schools that specialise in foreign languages. Having a live person there breaking it down is obviously a way different experience learning than sitting in front of a computer.





So just don't confine yourself to one method, and take it at a comfortable pace. If you try cramming it all in you won't enjoy learning the language and might become dissuaded. Just start with the basics and work your way through.Steps, tips, and advice to learning German fluently?
yeah, with german, the first step is to dig into (and i mean dig into) the grammar. english has lots of exceptions to rules which can make proficiency difficult for persons learning it as a foreign language, but its simplicity allows learners to begin using it right away. german requires learning a lot before you can really begin to use it significantly.





1 hour every day/week is way more valuable than 4 hours on two days/week. repetition is the key, as it is to any language learning.





in the presumtion that german is your first foreign language: one of the hardest parts of learning any foreign language is to ';let go'; of the ';way of thinking and way of looking at things'; that your mother tongue dictates. german tends to pile verbs at the end of the sentence, spanish often just leaves the pronoun ';I'; away and uses double negatives which then mean ';REALLY NO'; whereas double negatives would mean a positive in english, turkish uses ';infixes'; (like prefixes or suffixes, but in the MIDDLE of words - something completely unheard of in english) to modify words (';gelmek - to come, gelmemek - to not come';). if you have talent for abstraction and can ';let go'; and let the language make sense in and of itself instead of stumbling over how it's not like your mother tongue, that's a huge step.





when you're leaning, there are some shortcuts you can use. look for repetions in forms in the language like in german the Ge* nouns (Gesicht, Gesuch, etc) 70%+ of all Ge* nouns are neutral (definite article: das)





good luck
Best advice for learning ANY language fluently is to study it first, then go immerse yourself. Best way to do that is to LIVE in the language-country for about four to 10 months...the longer you do, the longer the fluency will last when you return.
Just talk much and watching video with subtitle can help very fast
