App for languages(French and German)

You might have a look at the Pimsleur language courses, as they provide more of a conversation-oriented teaching style. That worked well for me in learning some Italian.

I second the recommendation of Pimsleur, I used it to learn some Hungarian. I have also been using Duolingo--I like that I'm learning how the words are spelled, because with a CD I only got the correct pronunciation, leaving me to wonder what the word actually looked like.

I like Pimsleur in the car used in conjunction with something like DuoLingo.

Pimsleur is the best I've found for learning common phrases. I personally learn better if I understand what's "going on" with the language (root words, uses, cases, tenses, etc.). Why do they say it that way? Instead of just useful phrases.

I feel like I'm doing well when I can listen to Pimsleur and "see" the intersection with what my computer course is teaching me.

Thanks for your suggestions, found a Pimsleur for French at my local library!
