Hello, my name is Faisal, or call me Faze for short.
to make a long story short, My mom is American and my dad is a Saudi, "yes as in Saudi Arabian", so i've lived in Saudi my whole life and have been back and forth to the US many times to visit my family, I'm 19 years old and speak English and Arabic " all forums of it" Natively, i'm Currently studying medicine in Ireland. i recently met this girl from Germany who become a good friend of mine, i went to visit her in Germany once and plan on going again, the last trip sparked this passion in me to start learning German, and so here i am on this wonderful site studying hard and willing to help or be helped by everyone. now....i wanna see a warm welcome and any advice if possible :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Congratulation on starting your language learning journey. May I ask what materials you

ooh boy! where to start? xD
i downloaded this huge file of about 10 GB with all these language programs and audio files and books and PDF's , i think i have enough material to last me 2 years or so. but just to name a few: Assimil German without Toil (1965), FSI Language Course - German, Pimsleur, Michel Thomas Learn German, Rosseta Stone, and many more do you know of any more useful material i should get? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Welcome to the forum, Faisal. It sounds like you've got a pretty good array of materials to start you off. In my experience, most people are pretty pleased with the Assimil German, so you might want to start with that. Pimsleur is good to drill pronunciation, and a lot of people swear by Michel Thomas, although he doesn't have a native accent. FSI is undoubtedly very good but also rather dry and boring for some folks... it's a matter of taste. In your place I would start with Assimil, though. If you haven't used that course before, search the forum for tips on getting the best out of it.
