Franks, Ears, Weltanschauung, and Somebody's MTV.... Practice, practice, practice... Read, read, read.... and have a good ear.
Listening, reading, and practicing are three natural allies in the propagation of a second language. Deep within the psyche of a second-language speaker grows the antidote to Babylon. You, I presume.
To practice, perhaps to enjoy, try the links we've coded among the lines of this section.
If you like to send E-cards, go to Amazon's German site at http://www.amazon.de/ecards. Try your hand at navigating the German site and observing the German Weltanschauung through greeting cards.
Be bold and visit Das Erste, http://www.das-erste.de, an hotly wired site touting television programs broadcast by Channel One. Float down to the bottom of ARD's main page for links to pop culture, news, and whatever else may have moved the webmaster just before the moment of your visit. Treasures and fools' gold lurk in the flickering shadows.
