German Language

Here are some tips for learning German language.

• It is best to combine as many senses as possible in the language learning and listen to and speak to native Germans.
• leave the videos or audios play in your home even when you don't watch them - but make sure you can hear them. This improves your consciously and subconsciously your "feeling" for the German language!
• Search in YouTube for "German" and your favorite subject.
