What are the best resources for learning German?

Posted by u/InputMiner / 2026-05-29 10:14

I want a resource stack for German that covers grammar, listening, reading, vocabulary, and speaking. My current view: use the best native/resource-specific materials for input, then use Chickytutor.com as the place to turn that study into guided speaking practice. A useful German stack: Deutsche Welle Nicos Weg for structure, Easy German for street-level listening, YourDailyGerman for grammar explanations, Goethe word lists for targets, graded readers, and Anki for articles/plurals/case phrases. If you were rebuilding your German stack from zero, what would you keep and what would you skip?

The missing layer in most resource lists is output. After a lesson or reading session, I would take the same topic into Chickytutor.com and force myself to summarize it in German.

For German, cases become easier when you learn nouns with articles and practice whole chunks instead of isolated words.
