Has anyone tried learning another launguage

German! Started when I was growing up with siblings. They took it, and I was a ginny pig when they had tests to prepare for. Then, finished my learning off when stationed in Germany for 4 years at a small base. Everyone lived offbase/on the economy. Bars were my teacher- you drank, Germans drank, pretty soon everyone was conversing! You always understood it better then speaking it. But after a little alchohol, everyone could carry on a conversation effort. Used to watch/listen to Sesame Strassa their too! Also, radio helped some too while there.
