What is the easiest/Fastest way to learn German?

November 1, 2008 by Admin - LearnGermanLanguage.org 

I am going to germany in 3 years with a friend and know only a little German. Should I continue learning the language or wait a couple years and just go the Germany?

I think you should continue learning the language. Three years is a long time – what you could learn in that amount of time would really help with getting around the country and maybe even having conversations… Even after three years of study there will still be alot you can learn and improve on such as your accent. Even though many Germans speak English, most (I've heard) will be appreciative of your attempts to learn their language.
Living there will make the biggest difference – if you make sure to go and involve yourself with locals. My family hosted an exchange student thirteen years ago and when he came to the US he knew very little English (like "yes" and "no"). But he was very social and became involved alot at school and after a year the advancements he made were amazing!
Hope this helps & best of luck!!

    maybe familiarize yourself with the common vocab and grammar, in the least. I also want to learn German fast. :) Maybe browsing german sites can do. In truth, it has been months since I started studying German, and there's no progress at all. T_T

    Good luck!
