Я не работаю завтра, так я хочу говорить по–русски, по–немецки, по–японски, по–испански...
Не знаю, если это был хорошая идея... т.е. я не понимаю много языки, потему что, я учился их так кратко.


Essentially, this topic is for foreign languages. For practicing foreign languages, discussing them, getting help with them, etc. Foreign language meaning it's not English, since this is an English site. Even if non-English might happen to be your native language.

"Spielchen" is basically the cute form of "Spiel", which means "game". Hanging the syllabe "-chen" to a noun basically makes it... cute. It's also used to indicaten that something's small or young.

I REMEMBER LEARNING ABOUT THIS
I think we learned about it learning the word for squirrel.

As for learning German, same, really, with any foreign language. IMMERSION.
If you can't do that, start taking classes - at college, highschool, private, whatever, as long as they are person-person - and use every opportunity to practice - reading, writing, speaking, listening. This is why people never get far with languages in highschool, though, because they so rarely practice outside of class.
