You Can Learn German Fast And Easy
You Can Learn German Fast And Easy
The best way to learn German fast, or any other foreign language like French, is to learn to think in that language. You may wonder how you get yourself to that point in the first place. Is it even possible for an English speaker to think in German? Yes, it is and it's as easy as opening your mouth to take a deep breath.It's really not as difficult as you might think. An important aspect of learning any foreign language is to develop a good ear for the way the new language sounds. A very good starting point in your German learning adventure would be to listen to authentic German conversations. You will discover that many German sounds, sound totally different from their English rival. "Th" in German is pronounced like an English "T." The letter "G" is never soft, either. As an English speaker you might find German as a harsh language, but the more you familiarize yourself with the sound of the language the quicker you will learn to speak and understand it.
Go buy or rent a DVD starring an actor or actress that speak English with a German accent. Practice speaking some of the actor's lines, mimicking the accent as closely as possible. You're still speaking English but you're using your newly-trained ear to teach yourself what German feels like on the tongue. Becoming familiar with the sound and feel of the German language will help you master the German language faster than if you were to learn it from scratch as a foreign sounding language.
Of course, neither of those steps really teaches you German. For that you need some kind of course. Many people nowadays enjoy online learning, because they can study at their own pace and repeat lessons until they've mastered them. Other people would prefer audio or software based language courses or by taking an evening class at their local College. Whichever way you choose to study, however, make sure your coursework emphasizes oral conversation. Learning German is a dynamic activity, and you can't learn to speak the language from a book because the book can't speak back. You will learn German fast only if you speak it and hear it spoken.
Please take note of this very important tip as you learn to speak German: remember that all German nouns have genders they are either masculine, feminine, or neuter. This isn't something we have to worry about in English, so gendered nouns may be new to you. Masculine nouns include dog (der Hund) and coat (der Mantel). Feminine nouns include blanket (die Decke) and vacation (die Ferien). Neuter nouns include house (das Haus) and pig (das Schwein). As you can see, the article "the" can be translated as either "der," "die," or "das" depending upon the gender of the noun it accompanies. There's no way to predict whether a noun is going to be masculine, feminine, or neuter, so if you want to learn German fast, always remember to learn the proper article at the same time you learn the noun.
Finally, here is the most important way to learn German fast: I recommend you make a German friend so that you can practice having a German conversation whenever you have the opportunity to do so! Dialogues on tapes or CDs are great, but to really get the feel of a language, you need to speak it just as you would your own. For that you need a partner. You'll not only learn German fast that way, but you'll improve your social life at the same time!

An Affair to Remember audio book by Christopher Andersen
An Affair to Remember audio book by Christopher Andersen
"It was one of the greatest romances of our time.
They were both Hollywood giants in their own right, yet it was the nine hit films Katherine Hepburn made with Spencer Tracy that, in the eyes of the American public, defined them as Hollywood's most celebrated romantic team.
On-screen, the headstrong Tracy had met his match and she put him in his place. Off-screen, despite the fact that he never divorced his wife, Kate remained utterly devoted to the mercurial, sometimes violent Spencer as he battled his dependence on alcohol."

The Art of Money Getting or Golden Rules for Making Money MP3 audio book
The Art of Money Getting or Golden Rules for Making Money MP3 audio book by P.T. Barnum:
"Known as the world's greatest showman, Phineas Taylor Barnum is one of the most colorful and well known entrepreneurs of early America. A newspaperman, politician and promoter, he is best remembered for his entertaining hoaxes, like the Fejee Mermaid, the 161 Year Old Woman or General Tom Thumb, and for founding the circus that eventually became Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey.
Contrary to popular belief, Barnum did not coin the phrase "There’s a sucker born every minute." Instead, he avowed that a customer is born every minute. He made and lost fortunes, captivated the public, presidents and queens, and then wrote Art of Money Getting to share his own golden rules for making money. Barnum’s recommendations are timeless, maintaining their relevance over a century later.
There are still no shortcuts or substitutes to passion and perseverance: 'Work at it, if necessary, early and late, in season and out of season, not leaving a stone unturned, and never deferring for a single hour that which can be done just as well now. The old proverb is full of truth and meaning, 'Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well.' Many a man acquires a fortune by doing his business thoroughly, while his neighbor remains poor for life, because he only half does it. Ambition, energy, industry, perseverance, are indispensable requisites for success in business.' "

Everglades audiobook
Doc Ford returns to his stilt house on Dinkin Bay to find an old friend and one-time lover waiting for him. Her real-estate developer husband has disappeared and been pronounced dead, and she's sure there is worse to follow - and she's right. Following the trail, Ford ends up deep in the Everglades, at the gates of a community presided over by a man named Bhagwan Shiva (formerly Jerry Singh).
Shiva is big business, but that business has been a little shaky lately, and so he's come up with a scheme to enhance both his cash and his power. Of course, there's the possibility that some people could get hurt and the Everglades itself damaged, but Shiva smells a killing. And if that should turn out to be literally, as well as figuratively, true...well, that's just too damned bad.

Elizabeth And Her German Garden audiobook
"Rarely is there a book that when read once, one wishes to start rereading right away. Here
Indoors are servants, meals and furniture. There, too, is The Man of Wrath, her upright Teutonic husband, inspiring
in Elizabeth a mixture of irritation, affection and irreverence. But outside she can escape domestic routine, read
favorite books, play with her three babiesand garden to her hearts content. Through Elizabeths eyes we watch
the seasons, from Mays oasis of bird-cherries and greenery to the time when snow carpets her Pomeranian
wilderness. And each season brings with it new events as friends and neighbors come and go, all wonderfully
recorded with Elizabeths uniquely witty pen.

Dream House audiobook
Friday, October 31. 9:37 p.m., 100 block of South Martel. A vandal threw a pumpkin through the front window of a house and several eggs at the front door.
The police report read like just another Halloween prank - a nasty, petty act. But the attack is one in a recent spate of increasingly violent vandalisms targeting residents who have paid millions of dollars for their dream homes in the ritziest enclaves of Los Angeles.
Residents are already seething, hotly divided about the growing number of Historical Architectural Restoration and Preservation (HARP) boards that prevent homeowners from remodeling their expensive real estate, forcing them to preserve the traditional integrity of neighborhoods where Hollywood legends once lived. So impassioned are pro- and anti-HARP forces that Crime Sheet columnist Molly Blume suspects that members from both sides of the debate may be perpetrating the vandalism that claims new victims almost daily.
But the arson that destroys a house on Fuller Street doesn't fit the pattern. This beautiful property belongs to Margaret Reston and her husband, Hank; and the sick old man who dies when it burns is Margaret's father. Margaret herself has disappeared. She was last seen working in her garden five months ago - and although traces of her blood were found in her car, the police have no idea what has happened to the missing woman.
This intrigue all makes good copy for hard-hitting newshound Molly. Almost in love again with the high-school sweetheart who dumped her and is now a rabbi, Molly can't stop thinking about Margaret and Hank Reston and the old man whose life was tragically, though accidentally, cut short. But was it an accident? What has happened to Margaret Reston? Where does malice end and evil begin?

Doctor Who - The Curse Of Peladon audiobook
May I present Princess Josephine...of TARDIS!’
The TARDIS arrives on the storm-lashed planet of Peladon, just as it is being assessed for its suitability to join the Galactic Federation.
Mistaken for Federation delegates from Earth, the Doctor and Jo become involved in a series of dramatic events at the conference.
King Peladon’s Chancellor has died in mysterious circumstances, and his High Priest is vehemently opposed to the Federation’s advances.
Amongst the other delegates are hermaphrodite hexapod Alpha Centauri, half-automaton Arcturus, and two Ice Warriors – whose species the Doctor knows as old adversaries. Confined together in the Citadel, they struggle to counter myth and superstition with logic and reason.
Is the Curse of Peladon about to strike those who form a union with the Federation? Has the Royal beast Aggedor risen to defend the planet’s independence? And could one of the delegates actually be working to double-cross the others?
The Doctor and Jo must work fast to solve these and other questions, and at the same time stay alive...
