<p>I want to learn German and Greek(kinda random pair). What is a fast way to leanr them without a tutor? Any really good books seeing as how I'll be a beginner would be great.</p>
<p>Both? At the same time?</p>
<p>Wouldn't you confuse all the silly grammar rules if you did that?</p>
<p>Oh, and the internet hoards a wealth of resources Typing "learn german" into my URL box lead me to this: Learn</a> German online - free Internet course</p>
<p>Thanks, I'll definately check that out, but I was planning on learning German first and then modern Greek lol</p>
<p>Rosetta Stone! Woo!</p>
<p>The few times that I've used rosetta stone it seemed like it would be easier if I had some basic knowledge of the language</p>
<p>Pimsleur is a great software package that can help you learn the basics of a foreign language. By the way, German is not terribly difficult to pick up (the vocabulary is extremely similar to English, but the grammar is very different than English).</p>
<p>Greek is tough lemme tell you. There are something like 200+ forms of each verb [my Latin teacher told me that, so I don't now if it's true, but he was fluent in Greek sooooo] and crazy rules and stuff. The Greek alphabet is NOT that hard to pick up on though.</p>
<p>use these series from Deutsche Welle for German:

they're fun and interactive.</p>
<p>if you want to learn a lot and don't mind repetition and monotony use these free courses for german and greek:

-note that some of the language used in these courses is dated</p>
<p>I would just like to say that as a Greek, and coming from a very ethnically-in-touch family, Greek school is not a myth, like one would think the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" is just ****ing around. It is a reality. I didn't finish Greek school, not because the language was tough, but because I as forced to learn it. </p>
<p>I'm learning Italian right now, and am taking Latin next year, and now I do kind of wish I learned Greek....</p>
