Learning German

[SKYNHEDD]

Simple question...

I want to learn German and realise there are lots of resources like the BBC, and stuff on the internet like Rosetta stone etc etc..

However, after checking all these out, they all seem to concentrate on oral skills and just have you speaking it and listening also.

I'd rather learn a structured course and have tests/exams to do so I can practise reading and writing, and be able to test myself and my own progress.

Are there any online resources for GCSE German or somethign like that, that I could work my way through at my own pace?

Any tips/pointers would be very much appreciated.

danke.

Move to germany, you'll soon pick up the language.

I spent 2 weeks in Poland with family and by the end of the first week I could understand them just based on scenerios and gestures, would take a little longer to reply in Polish though lol

*Remembers that South Park episode*

"Essen meine Scheiße"
"Okie Dokie"

lol

You know what? I love Germany. I love everythign about it.

I would dearly love to leave the UK and spend the rest of my life over in Deutschland.

Everytime I am there, I feel a connection to the place. It fits well with my attitude of getting things done to the best of your ability.

The thing is, I would have thought you would have to speak at least some German to get a job?

Does anyone think it might be possible to do an English speaking job over there until I was able to speak German effectively, and get a "proper" job?
