Good choice. Do you understand any German. I read German but due to lack of practice I speak it poorly.

i don't under stand german or speak it but i am trying to learn from these songs
Well don't give up my friend. If you are able to find a patient German speaking person living close to you that would be a good thing to help you. Back when Germany was divided I spent a full year studying in West Berlin. When I was still working I used to translate documents but I retired 18 years ago. No more help or practice there.
My last German friend here died more than 10 years ago but I keep up by reading the Luther Bible in German every day. So reading is easier for me but speaking is more difficult because sometimes I cannot remember particular words. The hardest thing for me is understanding the spoken [or sung] language because I simply almost never hear it any more and my hearing is not what it once was even for English much less German.
Aufwiedersehen! [Until we see each other again]

My Spanish is better than my German simply because I learned it for the most part in California where as a child about 20% of the population was Mexican American. In Oklahoma I don't use it as much but it is certainly more common than German.

a guttural language, to be sure. Don't get me wrong, there is no accounting for taste, i just don't think i've ever heard this expressed before
I have never heard of anyone say that German is a beautiful language until now.
My Granddad sounded like a North German but he came from Copenhagen and when I was a child with all the Danish around I was like what's going on, the Main Land Danish accent was just so different.
I would have to say that I like hearing the Italian language the best.
I hope to go to an October fest this year, I have tried to go to one all my life but something other comes up, but sadly I don't drink much now.

I have just returned from Germany, my twin brother lives there - but I cannot speak the language - not sure I would call it beautiful, always sounds a bit harsh to me- but at least it's not a ' rushed ' language- I often hear many from European countries on the bus home from work and they just seem to be talking so fast , I find myself thinking ' take a breath '.
Good luck with learning German X
