Everyone has trouble learning a new language, especially if they do not live in a country where the new language is not used often.
Unfortunately, you picked a language that is particularily difficult to learn and use, especially in the US.
Although English is heavily influenced by German, the two languages are complete different. English is much easier to learn that German. I could advise you to simply visit a German speaking country and practice, but most Germans speak english.
Thus, if you can and would like to take a trip/go on an exchange program, I recommend that you visit somewhere like Austria or Luxembourg.
The trick to foreign languages is: memorization
I cannot repeat myself more clearly. Memorize, memorize, and memorize.
After you memorize, try to use what you have learned.
Hope this helps,

Unfortunatly, I have NO money so a forgein trip is impossible ATM. I would love to take a trip...money...blah, I hate money (gelb). So my substitute is I know the German players on this server and occasionally try to talk German with them.
Thank you for the tips... I'm sure I'll be back here, with Bio and Calc questions...
