Smarter German is an impressively diverse site that covers all the most vital topics for an enthusiastic language learner. This blog guides you through the ups and downs of the learning process with its learning materials, vocabulary lists, and grammar walkthroughs.<\/p>\n

One of the standout qualities is its originality.\u00a0It distances itself from the regurgitated pap covered by every other German blog out there. The articles are fresh and compelling with occasional dollops of humor.<\/p>\n

2. GermanPod101<\/a>\"germanpod101-logo\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

GermanPod101 is fast, fun, friendly and comprehensive. There are games, audio and video lessons, detailed PDF lesson notes and a wide range of learning tools. Video and audio programs are presented by super-knowledgeable hosts.<\/p>\n

The blog articles encompass numerous categories, such as news in German-speaking countries, German holidays, German phrases, tips and techniques. “German Word for the Day” focuses on a specific word and how to use it in a few important contexts.<\/p>\n

3. Daily German\"your-daily-german-logo\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

Daily German makes a bold claim: learning German is easy. The blog’s author, Emmanuel, has set out on a mission to convince his readers that learning German, while not completely simple, is far easier than we think.<\/p>\n

In “Word of the Day,” a German word is put under the microscope and explored in great detail. “Grammar Jargon” focuses on grammar terminology and explains the concepts behind linguistic terms. The “Online Course” section has a handy set of step-by-step instructions on German language essentials.<\/p>\n

<\/b>4. Slow German\"slow-german-logo\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

Slow German is a gem of a blog for absolute beginners and those who need some gentle, back-to-basics immersion into the language. Most of its numerous episodes are about German culture, while some walk you through a series of everyday scenarios.<\/p>\n

The pace of the podcasts is quite slow and very easy for beginners to follow. The descriptions and the audio are in German, and each episode is accompanied by a PDF of the text. There’s also a vocabulary section that matches key words with pictures. Some features are only available for premium users, but it’s worth it!<\/p>\n
