I speak English and Spanish fluently, but do any of those help me on German? I am really interested on learning. I would appreciate any tips that you have! :)

Beside taking classes try movie. Find a movie you love that you have watched over and over again and basicly memorize almost everything, then buy the DVD (from Europe), watch it again and again in German version with German subtitle, there you will learn how it sounds and how it spells. Usually Disney cartoons and Friends sitcom work best for me! That's not the ultimate way to learn a language but will definitely help. Good luck!

I learned German pretty recently and I love the language. The grammar is tricky, but a lot of the words are very similar to English (English is a Germanic language, with heavy Latin influence). Spanish, however, will not help you too much, since it is a Latin based language. The tips I would give for learning German are basically the same tips for learning any language: take a class, immerse yourself in German film, music, and culture, and read as much as possible. And if you can, go to Germany - it's a fantastic country. Good luck.

watch TV&films in German (you'll understand a lot, cause many german words are similar to english words) and you need to learn grammar. of course we have many words, but most of them aren't often used... so first learn grammar and most important sentences...
