You can purchase German-language books at the bookstore or online that teach readers about vocabulary words, common phrases and how to structure sentences. Many translation books, such as "Teach Yourself German, Complete Course" by Paul Coggle, come with worksheets that are incorporated into the lesson so that readers gain practice writing out words or completing sentences and questions in German. To make your lessons easy, pace yourself as you go through the book. Start with the basics, such as the vocabulary words, and work on those lessons over and over until you feel ready to move onto the next section of the book.
Look for audio books that offer German lessons on CDs, such as "Berlitz New Basic German." With an audio book you will be able to hear the correct pronunciation for various words and phrases, which you can repeat over and over until you are comfortable saying the words properly. Audio lessons are ideal for musical or auditory learners. Take the language CDs with you in the car, play them at home and upload them to your smartphone, PDA or MP3 device so that you can listen to your German lessons on the go, at the gym or between breaks at work.
German computer lessons combine audio with visual learning to make your lessons easy. Computer software programs, such as Rosetta Stone, provide interactive lessons that give you a lot of practice speaking and reading German. Activities are stimulating, and you can work through the program lessons at your own pace. You can also repeat lessons as often as you want.
Hiring a private German tutor can be a solution for easy German lessons. A tutor will structure the course material for you based on your skill level and experience with the language. He or she can start with the basics and give you hands-on practice conversing in German. Your tutor will provide you with worksheets, activities and speaking and writing tests to build up your fluency.
Whether you purchase audio books or hire a tutor, an easy way to keep your German lessons up is to make flash cards of German vocabulary words and phrases that you can flip through whenever you have spare time. Flash cards are small and portable, so you can easily take them with you. Continuous exposure to the words will help you learn the sounds and become familiar with their spelling.
