Also start out with one of those guided readers where as you read it it slowly introduces you to different words

MT's method is fantastic for getting the gist of grammar and sentence building. From there on out it's all about refining it.

If death is not a sufficient enough impetus I am not sure what would be. LearnGermanonline.org is also available in addition to what other anons have posted.

Somewhat related, how much German do I need to learn before reading something like Faust? I heard high schoolers read it in Germany

[Anonymous No.23048422]

>>23048394
Doubt it, Faust is written in a somewhat antiquated style for its day (somewhere between Shakespeare and Chaucer Tales in their originals for English) and my German wife told me when we met that she had never read it in full. Maybe they do excerpts.

Topic: Unironically Duolingo is good when you‘re dipping your toes in as the convenience of little bits of daily practice can’t be beat. After a few months of that just shift little bits of reading, television/movies, vidya, whatever over to German for the immersion into full sentences and listening. You only really get to the upper level though when you are speaking it regularly with someone.

Should I learn German from my native language or from English (I'm ESL)?

[Anonymous No.23049211]

>>23048998
Are you fluent in English because of the massive amount of time you spend online instead of socializing with real people that live in your country? Then English. You should learn from English anyways because chances are, there are way more resources for learning German in English than in whatever your native language is.

Bump. You can also check out the language learning general on /int/. They have a bunch of resources.

I'm learning German by going through German For Reading Knowledge and reading a German-Greek biglot bible with audio. Also Nicos Weg.
