Biollante123 Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hello, I'm trying to get interested in German, and I really want to become very interested in the language. Can anybody (preferably native German speakers or other non-native German speakers), help me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrmaJean Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Biollante, do you find you have difficulty forming interests and staying with that interest? Did you give up on Chinese? My daughters are very interested in animes. So next year my daughter A wants to take Japanese as an elective in school. This on top of the Spanish she will already be taking. She is motivated to learn Japanese because of her interest in anime. Sometimes it helps if there is another connection, I think. Can you think of anything that could spark a passion in you for learning the German language? Best of luck to you. Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biollante123 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I have tremendous difficulty with adhering and forming interests. Maybe I'll try getting into German movies and especially music, do you think that would help me? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrmaJean Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 I think it might, yes. It might not too, but it could be worth a try. You're welcome, Biollante. I think your enthusiasm is wonderful. I hope you find some interests soon. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLa Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 It occurred to me that you might use MOOCs - perhaps for learning languages but also for other reasons - this course seems it has a potential to be useful and interesting for you: https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn They also recommend some books, including some about learning a new language: Most Popular Recommended Books in Learning How to Learn We’re always interested in learning anything new. One of the best ways to do that is to keep open to reading. The most popular books that Barb has recommended in our weekly emails have been: 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works--A True Story Sapiens: A Brief History of Mankind Thinking, Fast and Slow Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything Fluent in Three Months: How Anyone at Any Age Can Learn to Speak Any Language from Anywhere in the World Fluent Forever: How to Learn Any Language Fast and Never Forget It Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
