There
are many ways to learn German. These days you
can learn German from the internet, from audio CD’s or tapes, you
can attend classes and get lessons there or have personal one on one
teaching. The choice is yours.
On
of the best ways on how to learn German, if you are able to, is to
visit the country for a period of time. Usually most people find that
they start to pick up a language in a couple of weeks and if you
visit Germany you
will definitely have more than a couple of weeks worth of places to
visit and see. And of course you don’t have to restrict your visit
to one occasion; you can visit again and again because Germany is
a beautiful place.
Whether
you want to go to Germany or not, you should study German
words. You can not speak the language unless you know the words. The
best way to memorize German words is by using the link word method.
It is a method of acquiring language ability faster. With the link
word method you will learn German words with ease and can learn to
speak German a lot quicker than normal.
So
learn how to improve your German memorization skills. Here is an
example link word German lesson. The edge that the link-word
technique has is how a German word is linked to an English word by
using matching sounds between the words.
Let
me give you an example on how to use these techniques.
English
word = helmet
German
word = die Helm
Imagine
a HELMET holding on to the HELM and navigating the ship all
by
itself. A very unlikely picture, but it causes your mind to work and
it
retains
what you try to imagine. It does not even have to be exact.
Focus
on the sounds created when pronouncing German words, for it is the
key to the link word technique. It is a great way on how to learn
German
Also
renting German videos is a great way to ‘hear’ German while you
keep up with the plot using subtitles. Use the link word technique
with other ways to learn German as fast as possible.
