Can my 14 yr old son continue to study german on a site that is fun?

I say why not, if you are capable of financing him and keeping him away from bad companies. I, as an Iraqi consider Germany as one of the best countries in industries and good educated people. I am a father of two sons one of them is studying for a Diploma in Telecoms engineering, and the other is not doing anything except studying English on his own. Is my reply superficial or enough??

Look for some instructional software programs that include games in them.  I have seen them for Spanish and French, but not for Japanese.  How old is your son?  The reason I say find a program with games is because if it is fun, it's easier to stick with it and enjoy learning.  Maybe the link below will provide something to start with for you and your son?

news of the weird is a good site.  check it out for yourself though before sending your son.  Though it's not an offensive site, not everything may be appropriate for young people.

Children pick up language a lot easier than adults do.  If you think he will need English, send him to that school.  It's always good to know more than one language.  It expands the mind.  It will help his vocabulary.  As a previous poster said, just work with him on his native language at home and the teacher at school will work on the English with him and you will have a bright, bilingual kid!

Try the Rosetta Stone French computer course. It goes very fast, and it is always fun and captivating.

A program called Rosetta Stone makes language tutors that are very effective (I learned conversational german in a week) although somewhat pricey. They do have Hebrew. Also you should check with a local synogogue. Most do teach Hebrew.

Oh, yes, way fun!  Cool grammar, cool music, neat words (loooong ones).  You don't have to sound like some mad evil monster either.  I personally find the language quite romantic (when spoken well).  Read neat poetry, too.  Nice nice people...everyone I've met, you try to speak German, they just compliment the heck out of you and say your german is so good! Germans think their language is more difficult than quantum physics, so anything you say is heartily welcomed.  Just try not to have the king or queen of grammar for a teacher, there's a lot of grammar, it's complicated, and you're better off picking it up slowly than trying to memorize it all at once.  Also, los!

It isn't too hard to learn. Spanish is the easiest. But german is actully easier than english. If you have a good CD that teaches German. I really liked A+ german. You can learn lots of words. It is best to have a teacher or someone who speaks it to help you get the hang of pronounciation. If you have opportunity to speak it with someone you are more likely to learn it and retain it. A language that you do not get to use is of no benefit. I learned it and didn't have anyone to speak it with , so I've forgotten a lot of it. My daughter learned spanish and has someone to speak it with so she has become fluent with it.
