Learning
Languages Many AWC club members have recommended leaving German language radio channels on in the background while you're working around the house. This attunes you to the sounds of the language, and you'll soon be able to understand more and more of what they're saying. Watching German language television also helps, because there are visual clues to help you understand the meaning. Also, many of your favorite American shows are dubbed into German, and you'll have fun learning to understand the familiar dialog in another language. Recommended by AWC member Nancy W.
