It depends on how you learn. Two points to bear in mind:
- Whatever you choose, surround yourself with as many native speakers as possible
- Make sure you have a reason to learn. Give yourself a goal of being able to do something with your acquired language. E.g. correspond in German about a topic online, visit a certain town and order a beer, understand an episode of Deutschland 83, write some angst-ridden poetry
Most uni German societies do a Stammtisch at a local pub where you can rock up and talk German. That's good if you combine it with some sort of formal study. Not sure where you're based.

I want to learn to speak German.
Recommendations for ways to learn if I have one evening a week to spare for attending a course/class?
