Sign up for free services that offer language lessons, such as LiveMocha, Vocabulix, Busuu and eLanguageSchool.net. These sites offer several free learning resources for German that include vocabulary, audio files for pronunciation help and verb conjugation. Read and listen to their lessons and, where available, use the social networking feature to start conversations with native German speakers.
Sign up for lessons on German-language only learning websites, such as Deutsch Lernen, GermanGrammar.de and DeutschHappen.com. In addition to the free learning resources, tutors often advertise their services within the websites.
Search through the OpenCourseWare that some major universities make available to find German classes taught by their faculty. Often, the syllabus, textbooks, assignments and other course components are posted online so as to enable a motivated learner to duplicate the class at home. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology's OpenCourseWare site has at least five German courses available.
Consider paying to take an Internet course at a college as a nonmatriculated student. Many community colleges and four-year universities offer classes for students who have chosen not to work toward a degree.
