Hello, class, and welcome to Cooking with Herr Nelson. I am Herr (Mr.) Nelson, and we are going to cook today. Yes. What do we need for today? We need bread– a bag with bread. Chocolate, a piece of chocolate. A small piece of butter. Honey. Chocolate cereal, like “Cocoa Pebbles.” A napkin. A knife. A fork. We need a plate, a pan, and peanut butter.
All right. Those are the ingredients for today. What are we cooking? We are cooking a chocolate sandwich. Stick your hand in the bag and take out a piece of bread. The bread is broken! That is good. Broken bread is good. We place the bread on the plate and take a knife for the peanut butter. Stick the knife in the peanut butter. Ah, peanut butter on the bread. Very good, class. That is bread and peanut butter. Like that. The finger has peanut butter. Mmmm. Tastes good! Excellent! It is delicious.
Ok. Then we need…ah.. a bit of chocolate cereal. A bit of chocolate cereal. Ah, very good. Chocolate cereal on the bread. And then a bit of honey, a little honey on there. We must shake the honey. All right, I pour a little honey on there. Honey is good. Tastes good. A bit of honey on the finger. The honey is excellent. Wonderful. OK, then we need … ah. Chocolate. We place the chocolate in the middle. Mmm, wonderful. Then we cut a little butter off. But the knife is dirty. We must clean the knife. I’ll wash the knife.
Here. Like this. I am washing the knife. Now. I’m washing the knife. The knife is not dirty. It is now clean. And we cut a little butter off. Like this. And we throw the butter in the pan. Like this. And then, yes, a little heat with that, on the stove.
And the butter is melting. Look– the butter is melting. So. Very good. It will taste good. It is delicious. Chocolate and peanut butter sandwich. Mmm it is delicious. Chocolate sandwich. Ok, the butter is melting. We place the bread in the pan. Like this. Shake the pan. Mmm, class. I can smell it. It smells fantastic. Chocolate sandwich. It smells…Ok, 1 minute on the stove. Shake and so on– until the chocolate is a little warm, a little warm. Oh, it is so wonderful. Delicious, class, it is delicious. Cooking with Herr Nelson. Good and it is done. Now we place this sandwich on the plate. Very good. And we get a napkin. Here. The fork in one hand and the knife in the other hand. And then we cut a piece off. And we eat it. Oh, class, enjoy. It is wonderful, class. So, a chocolate sandwich. Enjoy, and goodbye from Herr Nelson. Until next time. Cooking with Herr Nelson. The music, maestro…

How long will it take to learn German?

I'm a grad student in history and decided to start learning the German language on my own. How long will it take (educated guess), and how much time should I dedicate a week, to learn the language fluently? What kind of study tips and resources would you recommend (audiotapes, books, etc) This question is for everyone, but especially for those who have learned German.
I think that it depends on your definition of "fluently". In fact, a person will never know everything about a certain language, not even about his own mothertongue – you never stop learning (e.g. not even Goethe knew all the words of the German language). But I think you can get to a level that would permit you to communicate with others in just a few weeks – if you practice a lot (which means: not just learning, but also applying what you have learned by trying to communicate with others).
Some study tips:
The most important seems to me practicing, hearing and reading as much as you can:
Hearing: Right from the start, I would listen to German radio stations (and television, if possible) -of course, you won't understand a word, but you can learn the German pronounciation by doing that. It is very important to do that at the beginning of your studies -it prevents you from getting a strong accent. Or you could see films on DVD in German language subtitled in English and then vice-versa. If you hear a sentence in German, try to repeat it to practice the pronounciation.
Practicing: On the internet, you could practice German by using the German version of Yahoo! Questions or by visiting German chatrooms. As soon as you understand a simple question try to give an answer.
Or you could try to find Germans living in your town and give them lessons in German conversation in exchange for lessons in English.
Reading: You could visit the websites of German newspapers (Frankfurter Allgemeine, TAZ, etc.) or you could do some internet research on topics (history, etc.) that interest you in German (as you certainly know already a lot about these topics this will help you to understand the websites and some of them will also be available in English, so can compare what you understood with what was meant).
I hope that this will help, that you will enjoy learning German and I wish you all the best for your studies!

What is the best way to learn German?
September 4, 2008 by Admin - LearnGermanLanguage.org · 6 Comments
I very much want to learn the German language, but I can't find one good method to do so.
Non-native German speakers- and anyone who has learned a foreign language- how did you learn? Please give me any tips you can.
I've been learning German on my own for a 2 years now, and actually have had reasonable success. I wouldn't consider myself fluent or anything, but i could probably get by with my German abilities (but im not positive i haven't spoken to anyone in German in a while).
Rosetta Stone honestly was a complete waste of money. You really won't learn much for the value of it, however if you can afford it it will get you over the basic basic german. Rosetta stone won't teach you any of German's complicated grammar either. I'm really not a big fan of grammar, i think its more important to learn vocabulary in order to be able to communicate first, and learn the grammar that is affecting your ability to be able to communicate, write, and read succesfully. However, Rosetta Stone does not explain any of the grammar and expects you to learn it all basically through osmosis.
Also Barron's Learn German the fast and fun way, is decent for starting out, but its going to start you out with immersing you in it and it will be more brute memorization then rosetta stone if you really want to learn the vocabulary. The good part about Barron's book is that it will teach you some important grammar, but not an overwhelming frustrating amount that's gonna make you wan tto quit learning.
Once you know a bit of German, I've found, for me atleast, the Lustige dialoge (funny dialogues) book to be extremely good. It gives you a bunch of short stories, that have a twist at the end that's "funny" their generally so stupid its kinda humorous, but these storeis are much more interesting then traditional texts in German where they're going to go over culture and random boring stuff that just makes you want to quit learning. After the Dialogue, there are a few questions adn then it gives you some grammar exercises if you want to do them. The book doesn't teach you any of the grammar for the exercises but i've found http://www.ielanguages.com/German.html to be a really good website for any grammar. After your done, or while your going through the passage and questions, i personally underline any of the words that i dont know and make vocab cards out of the words that i don't know and then study those. The only down side to the book is that it doesn't have an answer key, but the book is such a good tool for learning German that i'd use it anyways. Plus there are two sequals to it, Geschichten Mit Humor (Stories with humar) and Spannende Geschichten (Exciting stories) Descritions of the books are on http://www.glencoe.com/sec/catalog/cgi-bin/secDisplay.cgi?function=display&area=fl&category=productinfo&nameid=810, and you can order them on amazon, or you can order them through borders and request to see the book first before you purchase it.
Two most important things with learning German
1. Try to study every day, ATLEAST every other day. Yes there's going to be occataionally days where you can't study because your too busy to study, but make sure you study atleast the next day if you have too. If you don't you will get out of the habit of learning German and will likely end up qutting.
2. Mix it up occationally. Sometimes a too formated routine for learning a language gets boring. Listen to songs in German (even if you don't really understand the words to it) Ohne Dich (without you) is a very basic song in German that would be a good one to start out with though. But there are many other ways you can mix it up such as: read newspaper articles in german and try to get a general gist of what they're saying even if that means using the dictionary a bit but try not to look up word for word (that drives me crazy atleast), use podcast on itunes, there's a ton of podcast for people from uber beginners in German to Advance, to podcast meant for people who speak fluent German, go to the library and see if there are any little kids/simple books in german, rent/buy a movie in german and try to get some meaning out of it, and even if you don't understand much of it you start to pick up how the words are seperated and slurred together after listening to it for a while, Speak/email other people you know who speak German, find a pen pal for German, and find ways that you find are fun ways to learn German, I'm positive those aren't the only ways.
Don't follow what i said exactly, tweak it up for what works for you, only take what you find useful, whatever works, we all learn in different ways. That's just the way i've found i've been able to learn German with
Hope that helps
