El Cid Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I leant German at school, getting a poor result. I am now nearing my 60s and I would like to have a hobby and an aim to go to Germany. I am hoping someone can point me to a structured online course? I am a poor learner, but I have few other interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiffRaff Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Wouldn't Spanish be a better choice in your case? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how "free" the free ones would be, but https://www.deutsch-lernen.com/ might be a typical example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalman Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Duolingo seems to be one of the best regarded language learning sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Hardie Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 When I started a job in Germany, my boss told me the best way to learn the language was to get a German girlfriend. My English girlfriend arrived soon after, so it was never put to the test, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altus Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 The US government's Foreign Services Institute (the bit that trains diplomats) has made all its language courses available for free. Many sites host the files, search for "FSI language courses". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it's appropriate to refer to a German girlfriend as 'it'.....😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
