I agree with the sentiment regarding how important talking/listening is in the language learning process. I came to Germany from the U.S. a year and a half ago and have spent that time trying to learn a foreign language for the first time. I definitely found a lack of online resources that were centered around conversational fluency, and so started working on one of my own: http://seedlang.com http://seedlang.com They take influence from some of the resources I found most effective like the Michel Thomas and Assimil audio books which gave me the biggest boosts in terms of my German listening and speaking abilities.

Oh, I so completely understand the lack of resources, though imagine you are in Norway instead. I took a year of french and a couple years of German in high school, unfortunately that was years ago. I've been here 2.5 years, and tried to teach myself. I started my second year of language classes in August, which has worked out much, much better.
