Learn German with free apps

If you are anything like me, learning a new language is very, very, very difficult. I am also a cheap-o and am very reluctant to take 300€ classes to learn a language when there are cheap or free apps available that I can use whenever I feel like it! All of these are great and so useful, I can bet (if you stick with them at least) you will be speaking fluently in no time!
