I am fluent in English, French, and Spanish and was wandering whether I should learn German or not. Im planning on become a doctor, being in research, or chemist. which language is more important globally in this case? I was thinking portuguese would be good since 200 million speak it but only in brazil,portugal, and 2 african countries. I need help!

NO! There is no reason to learn German. 99% of all germans speak English. There's no reason to learn that language (even if it sounds cool)

A good book is "German in 10 minutes a day".
It's a good book to learn the basics and it's structured for a busy person.
My friend used this book when he was first learning German. It must have worked for him, because when I visited him in Heidelberg, he was very comfortable with the language.

Eventually, you will need to listen to tapes/Cd's to become familiar with the language. Check your local schools for conversational German classes.

I you know anyone who speaks the language, spend time with them and speak German.

Can you take a German class at your school, for credit toward your degree?

Good luck.

I was wondering if any one knows of any kind of software/books that you can learn German from for under $100.

http://www.fsi-language-courses.com/default.aspx

That's the FSI language courses from the '60s. It's got a good German course and it's free! :)
The downside is that it's somewhat boring and just focuses on grammar drills and such. Also, some of the words are a little dated.

http://www.assimil.com/

That's a company's site that makes really good books to learn languages. There's a german course in English, and if you speak French there are several courses. You can buy the books + CDs on amazon for pretty cheap and they're great.

Getting 1-on-1 tuituion is the best way dat way you can learn faster. But if u reli don't want to learn it all that quickly u cud try an adult learning class.
Even using the internet but that is harder.

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.
