8 ways to learn German

Hallo und guten Tag everybody!

Today I am going to introduce you some of the best ways for learning German, including vocabulary, grammar, listening comprehension etc. So let's get started!

 

1. Easy German

In my opinion, Easy German is the best place to do some listening comprehension. Easy German is a YouTube channel, where you can find weekly videos of street interviews in German. The good thing about Easy German is that you can actually hear Germans speaking their own language the way they would speak it, when talking to other natives.

2. Memrise

This site includes many courses for different languages, including German of course. Surprisingly, you can find there not only German courses, but also courses for its dialects like: Swiss German, Austrian German, Bavarian, Swabian and some others. A great site for vocabulary studying.

Another great site for studying German vocabulary is Duolingo. This site is also a very fun site to learn with, as the learning process is built as a game, where you get scores for vocabulary learning.

6. Deutsche Welle

This German news site includes many real German articles and videos with exercises and vocabulary lists. The articles are spoken slowly so one can follow the German reader. The material is also divided into levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C).

8. FluentU

An amazing site I found lately, where you can watch videos in German (and some other languages) and get the subtitles attached to the video. You just move your mouse over a word in the subtitles and you can see its translation. This site makes German learning a lot of fun!
