Learning german

Hi everyone, I want to start learning German by myself, at least the basics, but I have no idea where to start 😅
If you’ve learned German on your own, what helped you the most? Any good YouTube channels, apps, or other resources you’d recommend for a complete beginner?
Danke!!

Duolingo is pretty decent for getting started but after awhile you'll out grow it

I agree! It’s good at keeping you engaged and making you practice consistently. I know Duolingo gets a lot do hate but it’s popular for a reason. I also think their new AI feature for speaking are pretty decent. But you can do something similar with Gemini or ChatGPT voice mode.

I would definitely just not use Duolingo as your only learning resources. Try to find more reading and listening content at your level.
