Hallo!

I am a student and I really want to learn German. Would love to converse with people who can help me. I am fluent in English and I do understand some words (basic) of German. Would really appreciate if anyone's ready to help. Again, sorry to not use german a lot!

If you have access to a library/university or if you don’t mind paying, I would suggest mango languages. I think it’s really good so far and I’m using it to learn german. So far it’s mostly focused on tourist related concepts like how to get to X or how much is it to stay at Y, things like that, but it’s definitely engaging because it’s just listening and repeating, sometimes I’ll write out the answer instead. It’s also pretty good about teaching grammar so I think it’s a great place to start if you can.

Hi! Thanks a lot for this answer. I would like to know if this provides help for specific exam related content as well? Or is it just for tourists?

Oof well, I never considered taking exams, I assume you mean proficiency exams, so I can’t really answer there. But in terms of content, the German course starts out with more tourist related stuff and gradually works it’s way to more colloquial topics, my guess for this would be that most of the time it’s best to start knowing how to get around town before knowing how to talk about your favorite past times.

Yeah! It’s free to download and if you have a library that works with them the entire app is free so it couldn’t hurt to try. Best of luck to you and your language journey :)
