I am going to start the long and exciting process of learning German for the sake of studying. Within a year, I aim to get to at least B2 level (B1 is the bare minimum in any case). I will be seeking the services of the Goethe Institute and the likes. Does anyone have any experience and therefore any advice to give (particularly for someone in Lahore)? Even experience from having learned other languages is very useful. What techniques, institutes, methods of study, sorts of work ethic, resources and so on should I be aware of.
