I don't have anything to teach you, but I'm interested in learning as well. So far I've tried the Pimsleur method and it seems to be going well. I'll save this thread and add anything else I find.

Pimsleur and Michel Thomas are good, low-investment resources. You might want to throw together an Anki deck that you can use if you have a couple minutes to kill while waiting for something to load or waiting for the bus, things like that. Duolingo is OK; it's a good low-investment sort of thing and it's good for reading comprehension, but don't expect too much out of it.

Teach Yourself Complete German and Colloquial German are great resources, but they are a tad expensive. Make sure to get them with audio


Edit: Everything I've mentioned above should be available at your local library, with the exception of Anki and Duolingo. Duolingo is a free website/app and so is Anki, except the Anki iOS app is $25. It's free on Android though.

Duolingo is a good place to start, but you won't get very far with it. It's great for what it's meant to do, which is make you able to read the language, but you won't be speaking very well, or understanding spoken German. I advise once you've got a grip on the language, to start taking in German media. Train your ears to figure out what's being said, and try to find someone to speak it with.

Is it the first foreign language you're trying to learn?
