>German is not so difficult for English speakers to learn. You just have to learn the gender with each noun, like Logos999 says, and then remember the verb at the end of the sentence to put. <
And the declensions?

I was just being facetious. Like the student in the Mark Twain essay, I rather decline two free drinks than a single German adjective.
Loved the essay, BTW----I read parts of it aloud to my husband on our commute home. He loves to make fun of the German compound words, and this was right up his alley.
To rapunzil---you can view and listen to the "Fokus Deutsch" language course shown on PBS on your computer (for free) at:

You might want to purchase the text to go along with it.

I'm with Nutella, in recommending Pimsleur for conversational German. Their programs are about $100-$130 for each level 1, 2, 3, and plus. Maybe there was a level 4 in there too. Look on ebay to see what you can find. It is really good for people like me who listen to the cds in the car.
