I seriously need to learn German. I constantly get asked if I speak German due to my VERY German last name. I was born in Germany but raised in the States, so had no exposure to learn from. I get a little embarrased in that I dont know much when I should. 

Funny, during my travels in Europe, I found most spoke at least some english.

My first name in SL is a city in Germany, therefore I've been asked a few times if I speak German... as which point, I must explain that I'm not German and that I was named after the band The Dresden Dolls and not after the actual city itself.

My last name in SL is a comune (municipality) in Italy, but, I've yet to have ever been asked if I speak Italian... go figure.

In Europe we almost all learn English as a foreign language...I am happy that it is funny.

 

If you want to learn German, here are some links:

Learning Germanhttps://deutsch.lingolia.com/en/

This is for free, at least the lessons for beginners, but I can look further for other sides, that are free.

A dictionary for freehttp://www.canoo.net/index_en.html

Here you can also find explanations for the grammar etc and a link collection, but it is not so for beginners.

A German-English dictionary + trainer for vocabulary for free:  http://dict.leo.org/trainer/index.php?lp=ende〈=de

 

And in case, only in this case, you have too much money, you can learn German in the USA here, but you get also a certificate (if needed):
