Why Learn German?


Ist means is, while Gut means good.

Milch is milk and Kaffee is coffee.

Here’s another one. Bett is bed and Braun is brown.

Do these words have almost the same spelling? Yes they do. Although different in pronunciation, the German and English languages came from the same language lineage. There are words which have translation from German to English and some words have not even been translated at all. These words are still used today by English speaking people around the world.

This just proves that the idea of learning the German language is possible. Even the idea of memorizing the complete language can happen no matter what age you are right now. You read it right; you can learn the German language anytime. Children are not the only ones who can learn and memorize a completely strange language. Although it may not be entirely too easy for adults to learn compared to children, the brain works completely the same.

Online sources for learning different languages are popular nowadays but you don’t want to spend your money on inaccurate software learning programs issued today by many language-learning websites. Before you join the club of learning german enthusiasts, get as many information as you can regarding the software program.

Another reason why learning German is easy it’s because in memorization, different methods can be used. You can use a CD to learn German lessons while you jog or cook dinner. You may also watch German movies and listen to the dialogue and take down notes of the words you don’t understand. But of course, in learning your main lessons, you can memorize the words easily by linking the words together in one image or situation.

A man rises up early every morning. His dog wakes him up everyday and to return the favor, he gives his dog spinach bone as he tells the dog to “spin it” to give the dog an idea that the treat is for him. Did you spot the words? In the example given above, we used the word spinach from the English language and linked it within the same situation to the German word Spinat by putting in the phrase “spin it” for easier recognition. Go ahead, try another one, pick a word and picture them in one idea. You’ll see how easy for you to remember it.

    Learn german?
    Hi everyone, I want to learn german but the thing is I’m an 8th grader and we have german at my school from 10th grade…I want to learn it now, any sites or free e-books? I would like some sites with audio becuase german is hard to pronounce. I don’t need a translator site because I have one already. Thanks.
    Jell-o…I don’t need to learn french. I speak it fluently : D

    Your public library may have German language tapes that you can check out.

    Sure. Several companies produce language learning tools which can be downloaded or ordered as CDs (which I think is better). Transparent Language, Linguaphone, and Word Ace come to mind. If you don’t like buying over the ‘Net, both Staples and Office Depot sell language instruction CDs. You’ll need a C\PC with audio, but you probably knew that.
