Good online German guides ?

[chefsmith]

Does anyone know any decent, well designed, well explained sites that teach German?

I want to back up my lessons with some online messing, I'm finding it difficult to get the rules into my head and for some reason any of the dozen German teaching books just make my mind switch off.

so I'm hoping to find one that's free or cheap, offers good explaining rather than just quizzes and might finally get the rules into mein Kopf !

I brought a gazilion post it notes today and am gonna start littering the apartment with them, with rules and words on them too.

Danke für dein zeit

Hey chef, good on ya! Have you tried audio as well, I get bored just looking at the texts sometimes but I find Michel Thomas audio pretty good.

Good luck!

Wahay wienA,
Long time no see!
Vie geht's ?
wie war dein Weihnachten?

I don't know what it is about the german textbooks , but they just make me switch off.

But I'm happy enough with my progress and am taking it to the streets and making a plonker of me self

Gaz, Here are a few I have used:

http://conjugator.reverso.net/conjugation-german.html

http://www.nthuleen.com/teach/grammar.html

And finally from Deutchesakademie online courses & Audibooks:

I hope this helps, as you can see I have been struggling. That said I also have been learning.

Alles ist super WienA.

Vielen dank Snowdog, ich werde mir die Website anschauen.

I find http://www.deutschseite.de/inhalt.html really good for looking up those pesky cases (the case explanation and preposition lists are awesome) and other grammatical rules. It links to a lot of Thuleen exercises too.

Other than that I regularly use these fantastic tools:
http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/ is a great dictionary and http://www.verbix.com/languages/german.shtml really helps with those verbs

Cheers guys, will try them over the weekend and hopefully be speaking like an Inlander by monday
