I love German too! Can't actually speak it but I need to learn a bit before I go there in March, I have some books I'm gonna work on. I guess I'm not what you're looking for, but good luck. I'm going to there to see and meet my favourite band, who are German

There may be some youtube videos with German lessons, you could do a search, I think I will too. My dad did a few Spanish lessons on there so there must be German too.

Your post reminded me of an experience I had when I was in Junior College & a girl from church had returned from Peru with her Spanish speaking exchange family. I had taken 5 years if Spanish in school between high school & college so I thought it would be fun to speak in all Spanish to them...after all I remember at that time I was sitting in church & translating the sermon into Spanish in my mind.

I was trying to teach myself how to play the church organ for a sunday school performance that was planned & I was talking to them about having to use my feet to play the pedals on the organ......well, in spanish, there is the word "pata" & the word "pie" (P-A). I managed to use the word "pata" for my foot....but the word "pata" means animal paw or the leg of a table.....while "pie" is the human foot which was the word I really wanted to use but ended up using "pata". Needless to say....I got a lot of laughs from that as they pictured this dog paw playing the organ pedals.

It definitely does help to have a good knowledge of the appropriate nouns so as NOT to embarrass one's self.....I'm sure it's the same with learning German....lol....I did that after 5 years of studying the language
