Millions or even billions of people all over the world are flocking to learning foreign languages today. Some people choose to learn Spanish, Chinese, others choose English, for English is not their native language but they need to use them in their work or life. Actually choosing a suitable language to learn is not a very easy task, you should do some research. In fact, you just need to use Google to do such a thing for you, for it is the biggest search engine all over the world currently. Type "the most popular languages of the world" into Google, you will instantly get your answer. I guess German must be amongst such popular languages even though English, Spanish and Chinese are the topmost languages now. But what should you do if you determine to study this language? You need some crucial tips as your guidelines.

Firstly, you should be determined. No matter which language you learn, you have to be very determined. And now German as we all know is one of the most difficult languages among so hundreds of languages in the world today, you should be much more determined to learn it. Even though German and English have ...
... so many things in common, like pronunciation, letter and vocabulary, you shall not remove your care once you are learning it. As we all agree that German's pronunciation is much sharper than English's. In this case you have to be determined to learn each one of German words carefully so that you can gain the sharp way of speaking German words. Certainly intonation is another problem. There must be some differences in intonation between the two languages, so you will have to overcome such puzzles when you learn to make a German sentence.

Secondly, you should snatch the proper methods. Why should use "snatch"? Because I think you need to quickly get the proper ways for you learn German so that you will never waste your precious time. As for the proper words, you have to measure yourself this time, for the proper measures just mean the right people choose the right ways, not the so-called best ways for everyone. So you think you need a German teacher to guide you, just join a class or employ a German tutor for you; if you think you can be accustomed to the software way, you may choose Rosetta Stone German, Learn German Software or Rocket German, or others you think proper. Of course, you might as well try to get online, learning German in the online classroom. Or you can go to the German speaking areas to experience this language. But if you can get online and register a Facebook account, speaking German with the natives there should also be a sound choice. No wonder, this way is just a supplementary method. If you have no any base in German, you cannot do this.

Thirdly, with the two methods carefully got, you can then begin practice. On the one hand I mean you should carefully carry out the two excellent methods in your German study, on the other I think you had better lost no time to speak German or write it. This first method just gives you power to proceed towards your final destination without too much worry. The second one is for you use the tool you choose to learn German carefully. But learning a foreign language needs your frequency of practice. How often do you plan to learn German? The best choice is to practice German once a day, or twice a day, for your mind will be in German easily and always have a clear view of what you have learned the day before. If you just drop learning it for several days, you will feel that you have too much difficulty to pick it up again next time. Apart from frequency, you have to keep an eye on your personal intelligence. You need to redefine the meanings in your chosen method. For instance, if you choose Rosetta Stone, you should carefully observe and feel the methods this software provides to you. A good learner will make full use of the functions in it, while a slow-minded one has to practice how to make full use of this software.

In fact, you can also detect a great many other ways to conduct learning this language. There is no limitation for you actually. It is your heart that decides if you have the ability to successfully get this language!
