Learning German

After moving to Germany for work, I have decided to take up the task of teaching myself German.

Resources

Here is stuff I found on Internet that I've found to be helpful during my journey.

  • Browser addons

    • Yomitan

      Yomitan is a popup dictionary which translates one word at a time. It has been immensely helpful in understanding German words. It shows the base version of a word, how different words have been combined to make a bigger word etc.

      It is helpful when I want help understanding some words in a German sentence, but don't want a translation for the entire sentence.

      Yomitan also has the ability to send words directly to Anki, but I haven't used that feature yet.

    • Linguist

      For when I need help translating complete sentence(s). It supports offline translations using Bergamot (which also powers offline translations in Firefox), which are pretty good.

  • Dictionaries / grammar search
  • Movies and Tv-shows to watch for learning German
