Anybody know of someone/someplace that has german language classes in somerset west or surroundings?
Looking for a place nearby, couple of places in Cape Town, but a bit far... And university has more formal type of classes... don't want a degree or certificate, just want to speak and understand the language

Currently busy with rosetta stone but need more...
 
I'm using www.duolingo.com. It's great it teaches you what you need to know, as well as the pronunciation, and then it asks you to translate stuff and your translations then get rated. Also, I'd suggest finding a german penpal or something, I have a few friends in germany who I communicate with and it's brought up my skills by a lot, yet it's still no where near fluent yet, but that's mostly due to poor management skills and laziness on my part...
 
Not really what was asked for, but take a look at http://www.spiegel.de/ . Probably twenty times too advanced right now, but that is essentially the end goal - if you can read that you can read anything.

Also, DSTV has a channel that switches between German & English every hour. Only runs til 13h00 I think. Might be useful for "hearing" the language even if you don't understand it.
