German-gaf, I finished A1 level of German last semester and now I wanted to continue at higher one(after some practice on my own) but they told me besides beginners there probably won't be any other courses, I asked around and there doesn't seem to be any good places around except private classes which cost a lot :|
So what should I do? Continue learning on my own with mesmerise and duolingo? I don't feel like it's very effective and it's hard to keep at it sometimes.
Normally I'd advise learning by entertainment. Problem is that Ger.an music/films/TV are a bit shit.
Books are the exception, so maybe they're your best bet.
I personally like duplingo. The biggest problem is always self control, I always just stop at some point. That's something classes help you with.
