Answer 1

German easy?
For some people it is, depending on your interest and talents.

German is a beautiful and clear language, when spoken correctly. You can easily learn to read in German, when you learn the pronunciation of the German alphabet, for the pronunciation is very regular, with the exception of foreign words integrated in the German language.

The spelling is pretty regular also, but the grammar is something to learn. However, there are language courses working with altered states, which address our all-knowing faculty in the Alpha state (slower brain waves than normal). This way we can learn much faster.

As far as I know, foreign students not speaking much German go to the "Goethe Institut" to learn German for one year. Then they can enroll in universities or other schools.

You probably will love Germany and travel to ancient cities and places. Munich is beautiful, Hamburg eloquent, Berlin full of humor. Rothenburg ob der Tauber near Nuernberg is medieval!

It always helps to hear German from CDs or the radio, just to get into it, even when you do not understand, the unconscious will pick up on it.

You may inquire about requirements with the Goethe Institut. Wishing you the best decision for yourself.

Answer 2

The spelling is German language and the country is Germany not Germnay. If you're not willing to learn German, I suggest you opt to go to a English speaking country for your studies.
Learning a new language from the start whether it's German or any other language is not always easy. If you've got the determination to do it, then anything is possible.

Answer 3

I thought German was pretty easy. Spelling is very easy. The grammar rules are rather complicated, but you just learn them one by one. (like the three genders and four cases sound overwhelming, but you learn them one case at a time.)
There are lots of common German words that look and sound like English words.
Rosetta Stone is pricey, but very good for all languages. Contact the Goethe Institute (goethe.de and look for the English version) to see if they have classes in your area.
german.about.com has some good stuff for beginners.

Well again while i used to be 12-thirteen years historic, we needed to study a language for tuition. I did German and did not fairly have any situation with it, it appeared like so much the identical as English. Someone who sounds as wise as your self should not have any concern with it.

Easier to learn than English, a little hard to get the pronunciation correct.

Answer 7

It's probably easier than English or French; the rules are fairly straightforward, and all letters are pronounced.

Answer 8

GERMAN is a complicated language it has THREE
definite articles ONE FOR each gender eg DAS DER,and. DIE. Add the DEKLINATION with its FOUR casesI
NOMINATIV, GENITIV, DATIV AND AKUSATIV and consider that the article and the NOUN s SUFFIX will
change in each case. GOOD LUCK TO YOU

it is rather easy. I would start off with berlitz books if you want to learn by yourself. Or Schaums if you are dedicated.
