@patrickwilken: 6 months up to B1. It's inspiring to know thats possible. Unfortunately I can only dispense about an
hour a day because of work and all but I'm hoping the cultural immersion might compensate somewhat. I agree that reading books is a major milestone since it frees you of the boredom of strictly structured study. @montmorency: I'm enjoying living in Luxembourg. It's quite a change from Portugal, especially climate-wise and the whole country seems to go to a stand-still on Sundays. However its been surprisingly easy to adapt. Regarding the languages, its quite a melting pot over here. In a minute you see people switch from Luxembourgish to German, to French, to English, .... Its a pleasant experience though :) @flarioca & @DanielJorge: Obrigado pelos conselhos. Terei o devido cuidado de tentar memorizar os gêneros e plurais das palavras, até porque já tive a má experiência de não o fazer com o Francês (os gêneros) e agora é difícil de remediar. Se me permitem a pergunta, e a título de curiosidade, o que os levou a aprender Alemão? Estou a assumir que pelo Brazil não seja uma língua particularmente usada, mas posso estar errado. Thanks again for the motivation. Hope that in a few months we might still be sharing experiences, but in German... :) Now... back to study 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Have a look at Deutsch Interaktiv. This is from Deutsche Welle's Portuguese service.
A descrição em português:
Translation for English-speakers; "The online course- Deutsch Interaktiv, has been brought back for everyone. It doesn't matter if you are beginning or if you already have some knowledge of German. In 30 lessons, this course for self-learners covers the A1 thorough B1 CEFR levels. A great variety of support material is available, exercises and tests aid your learning. Audio, photo galleries and videos provide an authentic view of life in Germany. The grammar review and a glossary with more than 7,000 words and their pronunciation are other valuable aids." Boa sorte com sua nova vida e com seus estudos de alemão! Edited by iguanamon on 14 May 2013 at 9:33pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Well after 350 hours you should certainly be approaching B1, if you aren't already there, so perhaps one year is a more realistic goal (say after the snows melt early next year). Edited by patrickwilken on 15 May 2013 at 12:31am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Como você sabe, a colônia alemã no Brasil é bastante grande. Sou também descendente de alemães e tenho interesse em descobrir mais sobre este ramo de minha família. Além disso, penso em estudar por um tempo na Alemanha, fora o interesse por sua riquíssima cultura. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Just looking at my experience, B1 is possible in a lot more time than you might initially think. I probably put in no more than an hour (and not even everyday) for around 6 months, and by the end of that time my language was in a completely different place. Good luck!

It's been nearly a week since I started the thread so it's time for a quick progress report.
I'm still following Assimil German where... ich bin am fünfzehnten Lektion The difficulty seems to be progressing pretty fast though since a lot of new vocabulary is introduced at each lesson. To try and deal with this problem I've started a new anki deck with all words from Assimil up until the current lesson to ease the memorisation and the review of past words. Also yesterday I went shopping at a supermarket in Germany and its funny how many things I was actually able to read with such a small set of vocabulary. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Using Anki to memorize all the vocabulary from the lessons from the course I did was essential for me. 1 person has voted this message useful |
