Tips for learning German?

[InterestedNerd]

Hey guys, my school is sponsoring a summer course in order for us to learn German. I'm a little bit more familiarized with non-germanic languages (regardless of English) and I'd like to know if you have some tips for me so I can start without messing up what I know from other languages. And, once I'm on track, how can I avoid mixing up words?

The best would be to focus only on German during the summer course. You can get back to your other language(s) afterward.

Thank you, I'll do just that.
