Hallo und willkommen zu meiner Frage!

Title says it all, I’ve been taking my Deutsch seriously for just under a year and have found some good tools that I find helpful for learning, I’m sure everyone will have encountered these before but hey — we’re a new community and it’s good to get discussions started.

A book that I’m going through at the minute is called: German Grammar Drills by Ed Swick — recommended by elyssespeaks auf YouTube.

I’ve been using LingQ for a few weeks now and I think it’s such a simple yet useful tool for boosting vocabulary, it makes it enjoyable to read in another language.

Anymore for anymore, currently I’m trying to escape being on three different language apps (looking at you Duolingo, Memrise, Speakly).

    Hello. This is my first post to Feddit.

    I was born in Cambodia but speak English well enough (C1) to have taught it as a substitute teacher. I’ve recently begun trying to learn German on the cheapest possible budget with the help of Creative Commons materials like “A Foundation Course in Reading German” and a used copy of Routledge’s 2004 “Basic German grammar and workbook.” I also downloaded the free and surprisingly comprehensive bidirectional dictionary app QuickDic from http://quickdic.org/index_e.html. My goal is to be able to read conversations on German-only tech forums and on Mastodon with a fair level of comprehension. I used to enjoy reading the /German subreddit before the recent “troubles” there.
