The best way is that you find a german friend, who can teach you German, and after you've learned some German, you can also talk to him in German.
P.S. keep on reading and talking...

Best way to start any new language is:

1. reading, reading, reading, reading
2. listening

Speaking is not important. Speaking will not help to aquire any new words. You will speak when you are ready.

I've been studying German for about 2 years now, and i would say the best way to start learning it is to just read short sentences, gain a vocab, and PRACTICE! The minute you stop studying you will forget so keep hamering yourself with German...it will all pay off...:)

As GermanRoxs said, it's always good starting with easy sentences. Actually i'd try to find a textbook which starts with small standard conversations like how people meet and get to know each other or how people go shopping or buy a ticket at the station. so you'll pretty much need the kind of textbook many schools use to teach second languages.
while working with this kind of book you should also learn as much vocab, including the genders of the articles, and as many full verb conjugations as you can.

it's also a good idea to look for a partner who's a native speaker but also knows your language well. the reason for this is that German is rather sensitve to mistakes. If you pick a wrong verb form or order the word incorrectly it happens easily that you won't be understood at all. that's why your partner should be able to ask you in your language what you meant in that case and can tell you how to say it correctly.

I would start with a class or a private teacher in the beginning just to get a grasp of the major grammar points of gender, case, etc..  If you've never studied another language that has a case system, learning German can be really confusing.  On the other hand, if you've studied Latin, the German case system will be a piece of cake.  After you get the basics, a language partner would help a lot.  There's a lot of plain old memory involved as well, unless you are just aiming to make yourself understood and not worried too much about being grammatically correct.

The best way is to speak with some other people who speak German well.  This way you learn with confidence how to use the new words that you learn.  I learned quite a bit of German with free lessons at www.dw-world.de ( then find the learning German link ).  Now I have a very good German vocabulary but no confidence to speak it yet.

I think trust and tolerate is the most important.
