Sort of like a fee version of Rosetta Stone, but with a web full of other users looking to learn languages too.
Me I'm re-learning German so I have found several Germans that are trying to learn English, I take the online classes submit my exams and my German friends review and give pointers.
If this works out - I could replace gaming with language...... I've always wanted to learn Russian and Korean ..... all for free on Livemocha.

Sehr gut! I'll have to look into it. Thanks for the heads-up.
Cool. The most important phrase to know in Korean sounds like "mechchoo pootakhamnida" and it means "beer please". It's also the only one I remember having been there 10 years ago or so....

Fette Sache, Alter.
As I happen to be german u can ask me whatever question or doubt. Once u got the basis visit the country. Synonimos, coloquial speach all that its easy to catch up talking directly with folks, or best would be in ur case get to know eg. a russian girl with korean father and german mother (or possible r all the other 5 combinations). 😉
Ah and watch original movies.
Further hint: Inserted today in the - Music Forum - What r some really good bands u listening to right now? - a link for a movie translator.
Thanks for the input saintchism - but I'll go you one better. For the last 20 years, I've been married to a German, both of her sisters and German mother (American father) also reside in the same town where we live.
I have plenty of practice coaches for German - but I will hit you up every now and again if you don't mind. I'm half ding this for me and half to surprise them. My ear understands 80-85% of what they are saying - but I can never engage my mouth correctly.

sure, I c how reality is toping my imagination. sounds like a wonderful thing to me. I´m in. Sounds funny. just if u b so kind to give me a little clue w h e n e v e r its suitable: where r they originally coming from in germany? Because of the dialcect of course and do they keep close on germany as it is today? That u cannot engage ur mouth correctly as a US native is more than natural. For a german it´s normally so sweet to listen to sb trying to give its best, I wouldn´t even much bother about it. How about the vocal ue or oe or ae? Is that working for ur mouth? Excuse me when I start grinning a little...
Duck sure is quiet. Must have gotten his one customer call for the week..... 😛
When I was little, I remember my Italian Great Grandmother talking to my Grandpa in Italian. He answered her in English. I asked him about it and he said he understood enough to know what she was saying, but not enough to answer in Italian.
This is my same Grandmother who taught me all the Italian cuss words at age 7. Man, I wish I could remember them. :-)
You do know that Duck is actually in an insane asylum and "customer call" once a day is when they give him his meds... right?? You gotta read between the lines.

you have a lot of phantasie Bubba, I can´t stop laughing since I read Sarge´s post and u all r smart a**es, (Atomm naturally excluded). but seriously, did u ever try to just pronunciate the word "suess" which means sweet in english? or just intent this one "scheisse" which means noting else but "shit" in english, but only saying it right away (taking the word in ur mouth) u know, though it has exactly the same meaning, it has a diferent weight somehow. ....If u know what I mean...hmm maybe not until u gonna try it!!
Klagegründe hören nicht auf diese Jungs. Die sind verrückt und wissen nicht, was sie sagen. Mein Gesang Verkündung kommt Ich habe eine harte Zeit erinnern, wenn die Verwendung Der - Die-Das.
And to all you cut ups in the Haus - and you know who you are....
Causes of action do not hear on these boys. Those are moved and do not know not, what they say. My singing announcing comes I has a hard time to remind, if the use - Die-Das.

Sorry I was sleeping a little. Here is a storm coming on and sometimes the connection (electricity fail) is cut off.
denke ja, das ist was ihr nur mit dem Wort "the" ausdrückt. Der bestimmte Artikel der = masc. singular der Mann die = fem. sing. die Frau das = neutrum sing. das Haus die Männer = masc. plural die Frauen = fem. plural die Häuser = neut. plural

Stronzo and Fafanculo sure were 2 of them.
Thanks for telling us. To forget that important lesson, gives at least the clue why u now behave like one of those. 🙂

I would say eg:
Ich habe Grund zu klagen. Hören nicht auf diese Jungs. Die sind verrückt und wissen nicht, was sie sagen. Mein Gesang - hier kommt die Verkündung: Es ist schwer für mich zu behalten, wann Der-Die-Das verwendet wird.
This is dificult, because u have to memorize the gender of each substantive/noun. To avoid that, and it even sounds better, u also would have the possibilty to use more verbal constructions. Lots of nouns best example u see in "Grund zu klagen" behalten" are coming with there favorite verbs and they are set in the infinitive. Another constuction form is the adverbal one " es ist schwer zu behalten". U are defenitely better off that way, by using more verbal forms. Too much nouns are making the sentence a "stiff", unnatural, broken one. Also its harder to follow the meaning of it etc. But if u like to go on with the substantively based speach use simple verbs combine them with the adverbs in an infinitve construction. The way I did allow myself to do so with ur post.
