Some schools offer "intensive" beginner courses, one year's worth cramed in 6 weeks over the summer, this would be 4 hours a day.. Or you can do a summer course in Germany thru a local University or college. Immersion is always good. You do language as well as culture and literature, then you have sight-seeing trips...meet someone who speaks no english...and voila...
