frau nomars,
baby steps, baby steps.
Its like becoming a stronger rider, you gotta put the hours in the saddle, there aint no quick solution.
but hey, putting some effort into learning some German already is a big help and is always appreciated by people when they see you are making an effort to speak their language.
so just keep plugging away at it. thats all you can do.
alles gute (good luck I think, one of the very few phrases I know)
