I learn German at uni.....if you really want to learn it, then I'd say don't bother with teach yourself books - you'll start off with loads of enthusiasm but eventually you'll get bored or be too tired or lazy to use them (believe me, I know!). Take an evening class instead - actually going somewhere every week will make you concentrate more and you might make friends - or get a private tutor. If you're really serious about it, then you could give university a go - you can learn most languages from scratch (referred to as "ab initio"). Other than that, well, you could find a German penfriend who speaks English and is willing to teach you German, or (most drastically) just move to Germany - 6 months in Cologne did wonders for my German!! Find a German boyfriend/girlfriend and hey presto - problem solved!! :-D By the way, most of the "German" posted here is just plain wrong, and never, EVER trust automatic translations - "nett" means nice, yes, but only when used to describe people! But it's true - Deutsch ist eine gute Sprache zu kennen.... I love it!!!

It depends on how much money you want to spend or how skilled you are. If you can learn a language without having to hear it just google it online. Or you can buy a software that says Learn German or something. I bought the learning French one. It's under 100 bucks. Or buy Learn German Rosetta Jones. In that software it ranges up to 200 bucks and it is advertised on airline magazines. It is said that it's most popular worldwide.
Check out the link and the demo I'm sure you'll like it. It has pictures to choose from with a German phrase, It has native German speakers on there to help you learn accurately. Just go check it out:

I learned German at school and enjoyed it. I think that you should try and do some taster days first at a college, many in the UK run one day 'learn a language for a holiday'. Or go on www.bbc.co.uk, they do languages for beginers.
If you are more serious go to college, you will learn about pronouncation and be able question your understanding, unlike audio cassetes/CD's etc
