Learn German: Fluenz German 1+2 for Mac, PC, iPhone, iPad & Android Phones, Version 3

I'm absolutely loving this course! I'm taking it at my own pace (i.e. slowly) but in the first few lessons I already learned very practical things like how to introduce myself and others, and how to order in a restaurant. I love that this is geared toward English-speaking adults and doesn't just have you "guessing" by clicking on a picture of a jumping horse while a speaker repeats a word. (That's actually a true example from another course I tried in the past.) It comes with an audio disk to play in the car as well, so I can keep refreshing the lessons if I get busy with life and don't have time to study a lesson for a few days. Highly recommend it for motivated language learners!

So far, I am really loving this course. German is a tough language, but Fluenz breaks everything down for an English speaker. There are lots of interactive exercises that really imprint the words and structures into your brain. Also, appealing visuals accompany the conversations. You can use something called the "challenge mode" to ensure that you spell everything with the proper vowels and capitalized letters.You are already using sentences with the dative case near the end of the first series.I could personally do without all the appearances from the company founder, who introduces and concludes every lesson. But you can always fast-forward!
