German learning
Feb 28, 2020 (last update: Oct 9, 2022)
On this page I’ll link to resources I’m currently using or had used to learn German. I’ll be using this page as my personal bookmarking page. It will get updated as frequently as I discover and use more stuff. More notes at the end.
I’m marking resources with A? (A1/A2), or B? (B1/B2) and other tags like listen, active, read, speak, and grammar. C-f is your friend here.

Used / rarely used
- Seedlang #grammar #active #A? #B? #vocabulary - Great resource! It’s made by people from Easy German. It contains a lot of resources to level up gramma, listening and vocabulary. I’ve bought a premium for a year and I’ve watched most of the stories (at the time, they’re adding new content!). I’ve also exported most of the stories into Anki for a bit better UX.
- Free German Online Courses Level A1 to B1 | DW Learn German - excellent resource with a lot of exercises, a lot of levels, and videos. #grammar #write #read #active #A? #B?
- Duolingo - I’ve completed most of the German track, failed basic A1/A2 conversation, dropped immediately. Might be good if it’s used in addition to other resources.

In my studying, I’m trying to mostly follow Refold process. Additionally, I’ve weekly lessons with tutor where we mostly do grammar and speaking.
