A fun way to get used to the pronunciation of a language as well as learning new words is through songs. I've picked Klaus Hoffman's "Berlin" and created a course based on that song. You can listen to the song and take the course here http://www.memrise.com/set/10018638/klaus-hoffmanns-berlin-learn-german-with-a-good-so/ . Let me know what you think! :)

My only problem with it is there a lot of places where there are two English meanings given and that makes it harder for me to focus on the German. For example: They will leave/go. Of course, that might not make a difference for other people. I hope I don't sound like I'm complaining.
Well I put two meanings in English because one of the English words helps you remember the German word (for example, "go" is closer to "gehen" than "leave"), while the other word gives a more accurate meaning of what the word in the song is intended to say ;)
I am taking this course and I really like it.
