I am interested in teaching myself German. I graduated from college now, so I cant take classes so easily though. I am looking for recommendations on books. I would prefer one that teaches like some vocab that goes together along with some grammar lessons.

Where do you live?
If you live in an urban setting, there's a chance you're near a chapter of the Goethe Institut. If you are near one, they should be able to offer what you're looking for.
Also, check out the set of German links listed in the Links Section of My Web Site. Check out the links for grammar, German radio stations, and German newspapers.
Good luck!

I just started learning German in HS this year. It's fun, though I can't say much yet. 
Gute nocht! :moon:

Let's see if I can translate, with my extremely limited knowledge of Deutch.
"Know you Ingo?"
"Yes! Ingo is my friend"
Hey, that wasn't too hard.
Are you suggesting that when talking about Germany/German people/German language, Hilter/WAR and the will to conquer comes to mind?
Learning German shoudn't be too hard. You don't have to worry much about pronunciation, so it is somewhat easier to learn at home than English, isn't it? Der, die, das only hurt in the beginning.
no, it's an evolution of german. German to old english, then evolution of english. happened when germanic tribes began conquesting england.
Nope, Germans conquered England, thats where most of the English came from.... minor french words now and then, but mostly based on German. And German isn't a romance language, cause the Germans werent conquered by the Romans the way the Frenchies were

It was Germanic Tribes that Captured England as there was no Germany back then (Angles and Saxons for the most part )But afterwards the Normans (French)conquered England and French was the offical Language of the English Royal Court for awhile. Also keep in mind that the Franks who are the Ancestors of the Modern Day French were also a German Tribe.Originally posted by: Gobadgrs

There wasn't a "Germany" until like the 1800s i think. Confederation of Rhine?
and no. Ich glaube, dass deutsch nicht so schwer zu lernen ist.

Michel Thomas ("The Teacher to the Stars") is the best language teacher out there. It's the no BS approach to learning.
I have these cds. Beats any 1 year college course by leaps. Even language instructors have told me the tapes are exceptional and ABOVE all the other crap out there,
My wife is German, so I must know some German when speaking to the parents back in Germany.
As with any language, you either USE it or LOSE it. Practice the lessons. You can't go wrong with these CD's in terms of budget and learning at your own pace!
