For starters, check out our articles the German Expaticon and ‘Language learning for adults: How to make it workt’.

Where to learn German

Tips for learning German
Learning the local language is a favourite topic, espcially as so many myths often surround learning langauges. Read Debunking German language myths where Renate Graßtat looks at the three most common myths about German: ‘German is a difficult language, sounds hard and ugly and isn't really logical/ is mathematical'. Renate Graßtat also helps expats get by with her blogs on practical topics such as going to the hairdresser in Germany, shopping and finding a flat.
One British blogger was aware that German isn’t one of the easiest of languages to grasp wasn’t prepared for “the thornier problem of cultural asymmetry when it comes to humour,” which she describes in her blog ‘The funny side of my life in Germany’ and in ‘What is 'headache' in Italian?’ a German-language teacher puts herself in her students' shoes: learning a foreign language.
American expat Emily Rasch offers some great tips on learning the German language and includes where to find courses and some great websites and forums to visit.
Expatica forums

Quote ´´Renate Graßtat looks at the three most common myths about German: ‘German is a difficult language, sounds hard and ugly and isn't really logical/ is mathematical' ´´. Its no myth, German is an ugly language, sounds so unattractive that I have lost all incentives to learn.
Eample: words like - Wohnungseigentümerversammlung, Gesamtwirtschaftsplan, Instandhaltungsrüklage and similar unpronouncable, unspellable, meaningless jibberish put me off. These words cant even be found in the dictionary. Why there is no german dicionary which iterpretes words joined together and give their contextual meaning with examples? I loose patience and it shows the germans are lazy when it comes to dealing with Auslanders.
