Sources for learning German

We are often asked by former participants of the Language Institute TREFF PUNKT, which Internet sources we could recommend to

• prepare for an intensive language course in Bamberg
• look up vocabulary and definitions online
• keep up to date with Germany's culture, economy, media and lot more
• find sites that are simply fun!

We're tried to arrange our information by topics. We will keep completing and updating these sources, and would be happy to receive your tips and comments.

This way we can keep expanding and improving our range of information for all learning German. Please send your suggestions mailto:learn-resource@learn-german.com.
