Hi,

So, I just decided to learn German for "fun". I literally dropped out of German in high school into some "special class", I want to prove to myself I can learn a language.

I've picked up Duolingo app and have so far learnt more than in 2 years I did of it in school, because now I actually want to do it, when I say learnt more, after a couple of hours I've learnt some basic words, able to string a basic sentence together and understand some of the grammar like feminine and masculine words.

The issue I find with Duolingo is it doesn't really teach me about forming sentences properly and how certain words have multiple meanings, also when I've been trying to see if I remember words and use Google Translate, it appears that depending on how a sentence is wrote, the same word can be totally different.

Any recommendations of online courses or content that is structured in a way that I could learn German and potentially even get a qualification at the end of it?

I need to make sure I stick at it, when the going gets TUF I can easily just let go, especially if I get in a abit of a "spaghetti situation" as I call it when I'm so mixed up and nothing makes sense.

If I can get to the point where I know a good level of German I want to start learning other languages too, like Italian, French, Spanish, but, one at a time need to walk before I can run.
