Good German Internet Resources?

Hi Guys,

After intense study :P I've come to realise that I'm going to really have to perk up in German if I want to reach my aim of an A. I was just wondering, are there any helpful and maybe even fun (optional to post :P) resources that you can link me and other members too. I'd really appreciate it!!

Thanks for reading .

I torrented Michel Thomas' German Audio Course last year and thought it was amazing, it'll really improve your German if you use it alongside your school course. I've done German since first year so I knew some of the stuff, but it sorta hammers it in there fully. It's pretty relaxed and his teaching philosophy is sound. It's expensive, so you're better of downloading it illegally on the sly ;p
http://www.michelthomas.com/learn-german.php There's the website if you're interested xD

http://german.about.com/ That website has tons of useful stuff about grammar and so on. Verb/case tables, etc.,.

http://www.pronunciator.com/English/German/ The lessons are a bit bore but good if you wanna improve your basic oral skills I guess.

I've found this pretty useful for revision and it's all free which is even better

If you're going for an A, best resource you can read are German newspapers- I had Der Spiegel as my homepage all throughout 6th year, it gives you some great (and topical) vocab for essays that you won't find in a textbook. I was able to write a whole essay on the earthquake and nuclear accident in Japan for homework off the top of my head last year, just by having read the headlines every day.
