Learn German Quickly - Back To The Basics (Part 2)
One of the four main basic abilities you need to learn German quickly is the ability to read. Most of us don't realise that when we are reading a text, we read sentence by sentence and not word for word. A sentence is several words in a specific sequence. It is the whole sequence that we subconsciously register. Therefore, just knowing the keywords in a sentence is enough to comprehend what you've read.
The same format should be applied when reading German. Language students usually make the mistake of reading slowly word by word thinking that they need to understand every word of the sentence in order to comprehend the text. This results in low comprehension despite a good knowledge of German vocabulary. When reading German, you should read the WHOLE sentence or clause at once and you'll learn German quickly. Why? Because you'll be more quickly able to distinguish the sentence structure and also its meaning.

Learn German Quickly - Back To The Basics (Part 1)
One of the four main basic abilities you need to learn German quickly is the ability to listen. I'm sure that you have noticed the difference in your comprehension of German when you are listening to German-natives compared to listening to the "formal" audio software from your language course. This discrepancy should be addressed if you want to learn German quickly. Therefore, you must also try to listen to German spoken (on the radio, TV or amongst German-natives) so that you can get used to listening to "informal" (on-the-street) conversations amongst native German speakers. By using a more holistic approach to listening, you will be able to learn German quickly.
