I just finished German 3-4 at my high school, and because of the idiotic decisions made by administrators there will not be a 5-6, AP, or summer class.

So would any german TL members be kind enough to help me practice or teach me a bit? Our german teacher was pretty terrible, and I forgot alot already this summer, but I really want to learn the language. My vocabulary is good enough to have simple conversations.

Eh, Well internet is always the better place to find like courses and stuff to learn languages.

Take this from the guy who started Hangul (Korean) and got pretty sucky at it, but at least I got to learn how to read it /write it :D.

Good luck~

I wouldn't want to learn German... :p Grammar is so complex.
In common language a lot is simplified though.
Anyway, I can answer some questions... if they're short.

I taught myself a lot of German last summer by using Rosetta Stone and reading/writing in German. It also helps that my fiance is German so I pretty much have the best teacher in the world.

But! If you want, we can practice German together?
