What's cajun french ? German owns. I've been taking german since 7th grade and am not entirely fluent, although after staying over there for five weeks when I was sixteen boosted my speaking skills an assload. Another thing I reccommend, think of ten words or phrases that you use everday and look them up and learn them. Also, you could post sticky notes on everything in your home for whatever language it is you want to learn.
