Hi.
I was born in Germany, so I cannot tell anything other than I have learned it since birth, so German came naturally to me.
But maybe I can give you some insight on how to quickly learn the language as a foreigner:
- Speak with German people
- The Internet is filled with German speaking folks, just choose a community that fits your interests.
- Make an account on Quora in German (Quora auf Deutsch)
- In my honest opinion, even as someone who has a great standard even by the means of a German citizens, I learned a lot on the Website.
- Additionally I sincerely believe Quora is the best place to learn a new language
- Buy German literature
- And start small!! There is no shame in starting with children´s books, the more time you invest in learning the basics, the less effort you will have to put into the “higher” fields of German
- German is very hard to learn, but relatively easy to master
- Visit a German speaking country
- I can´t stress this enough, as I firmly believe that anyone can only truly speak a language when they visited the country it is natively spoken in.
- Have fun
- Anything is learned faster when you have fun while doing so
- Listen more, speak less
- If you have the ability to listen more than you speak, you have the world´s knowledge at your feet.
- If not, try your hardest to achieve this skill
- Rest enough
- Someone who chooses quantity over quality, e.g. learning a lot without taking regular resting phases, will actually forget most of what he/she has learned.
Thanks for reading, and good look with learning such a beautiful language.
Mit freundlichsten Grüßen,
