Does any one learn German here? Or Have been learning?

Yeah, I'm starting to learn. I'm picking it up pretty quickly.

I hope to be able to converse with all my relatives shortly.

Go to your nearest quality bookstore and ask them if they'll order study books. There was a store around here that would order anything and they had huge listings of books used for everything. It might not be on the shelf, but they may order it.

And you probably won't get that service for some huge chain bookstore.

I've got a great German grammar book by Berlitz that was old when I got it. I don't think the grammar has changed, but some phrases have since it was new.

Rosetta Stone. That is a great application to use on a PC as well to teach yourself a different language. I have been working on teaching myself Traditional Chinese.

I have heard about Rosetta Stone. And from what I have heard it is very good.
All my German I learned from watching Hogan's Heroes.

Yes, its nice. But it doesn't teach anything about Grammar.

But it is a useful thing to review the language or learn new words.

I also usually prefer to buy books online.
Those local bookstore are pretty poor about their selection.

That is really good. I never used it myself, but i watched other people use, and it looked easy to learn from it.
