It's good that you want to learn German so bad. I'm glad you want to learn a foreign language and like they always say, "It's never too late to learn a foreign language!".
I find that if you have a little determination, discipline, and enthusiasm you will find learning German very fun. English speakers have major advantages over other people who are trying to learn German mainly for the fact that there are literally thousands of words that sound or spell or look like their English counterparts. Heck, I have at least a 75% of getting a German word translation right by adding some modifications to make it "look" and "sound" German!
Viel Gluck! (sorry about the spelling. There's supposed to be an umlaut over the 'u' and I don't know how to type it out :(
Oh btw, check out 'The Everything Learning German' by Edward Swick. I'm using it right now and I can't believe how much I'm learning all by myself.

Hallo, I've lived here for two years, it's a very hard language to pick up. But it's possible. Just take some classes! Tschüs (said like chuce means bye) :)

They should teach classes on it at a community college near you. Or even in your high school. There are also those 'German for Dummies' books and audio tapes at bookstores and libraries.

I ordered CD's and books. This is a very difficult language to learn, by the way. They have 16 ways to say the word "the" and it is very formal and proper. But it is a wonderful language and the culture is fantastic! Work hard and you will be fine!
