A lot of German words come from Old English - like Shakespeare.
Example
English: You have.
OLD English. Thou hast.
Germain: Du hast (pronounced differently)
As you probably already know German is very phonetic in that the spelling and pronunciation rules are consistent. It's a good idea to learn cognates first because they can be learned very quickly. Like Apple = Apfel.
I will list you some resources that I got from the famous irish polyglot Benny Lewis (fluentin3months.com) & from his book
Overview of German - http://www.omniglot.com/language/phrases/german.php
Online German courses - http://www.dw.de/learn-german/german-courses/s-2547
About.com’s German learning articles - http://german.about.com/
And if you want access to a free online dictionary, here are plenty to get you started:
dwds.de - A monolingual German dictionary that goes into great detail for each word, including incredible context tabs and etymology.
http://www.duden.de/ As above, also gives tonnes of info for each word
http://dict.leo.org/ You can search directly between German and many languages.
http://www.dict.cc/ Another fantastic choice for a bilingual German dictionary.
http://de.pons.eu/ Yet another great alternative, that also has a ton of combinations other than German-English.
http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/ And one more for luck!

In general, learn the articles together with the noun. Don't learn "Tisch", learn "der Tisch". You need to do the same for many other European languages (Italian, Spanish, Dutch, ...). It's quite similar to the way one must learn verbs and verb expressions in English: You need to learn "sing, sang, sung" and "to put up with s.th." etc. In the same way, learn "singen, sang, gesungen" and "sich mit etwas (Dat) abfinden" in German.
There are some noun suffixes that always indicate one particular gender, see:

But there's no way around learning it for all the other nouns.
