Online German language courses

As well as taking courses and talking to people, there are also various useful online tools for learning German. Most people are probably already familiar with Babelfish and equivilents (eg freetranslation.com, as well as the Leo English/German Dictionary , but there are also various websites which provide useful links and exercises, such as:

www.cas.usf.edu / german

And:

www.wuziegames.com / learngerman

If anyone has any particularly useful sites they can recommend, please share them!

i have been trying to find some good websites on the net to so some online excersises during my free time but i know of only one. any other recommended sites?

i know of www.eu-vocab.com very usefull but doesnt show up in the google search engine.

Leo Dictionary - I donno if this one helps for you, but this is really good for beginners.

Also: Online German course from the BBC

http://german.about.com have online lessons and in the forum moderated lessons

One of the German Universities has a program that you can download for free. I tried it a few years back and it would have been great for the beginner, but I had already lived here for like four years. If you search for it, I am sure you could find it. I might later if I have time.

the deutsche welle website in general is very good. As well it has german lessons in many langauges for those who aren't native english speakers

the early lessons are a bit childish, but i found this very good in my first year here.

they also give you the news every day in slowly read german

It is PAINFULLY slow though. Don't know about anyone else, but if somebody says I word I don't know, then I don't know it - repeating it slowly never really helps much...my uncle still tries that very technique every year on holiday though. Plum.

buy/download the Pimsleur German series - pretty good for home learning.

Here are the onlinr exercises, which I personally find usefull:

For basic level: Grundstufe

And a bit more advanced Mittelstufe

Enjoy

Hi there!!

Try this http://german.about.com. I found it quite helpful.

This website won't teach you German, but it does have lots of exercies for practicing different things like adjectives and what not. I only know about it because in my class we use the "Schritte" books and they have the website on the back cover.

Can anybody recommend a good, FREE, online German course for beginners/intermediate.

I've used the Rosetta Stone online program. It's about 30 US a month, but totally worth it. Breaks things down grade school style for the slow learners like me.
