Lingolia:

Very good grammar overview with examples and some exercises however it might not be the best site for beginners that want to learn German. What this site is very good for is looking up certain topics.

Verbformen:

Generator for verbs given in the “Infintiv” it generates all the conjugated forms. But be aware if the generation doesn’t work correctly, you might get a wrong result.

Duden:

If you learn German you will notice that German words can be difficult, be it conjugation, declination, or synonyms (yes we have a lot of them!) it is a good idea to have a look into the “Duden” the reference book (dictionary) for today’s German. They also have a database where you can search for words. You will find lots of information about use, synonyms, conjugation as well as declination.

Pons:

Another dictionary for vocabulary is Pons. What some people don’t know however is that pons has some tools like a vocabulary trainer http://trainer.pons.com/ (you’ll need to register for full excess) , text translation http://en.pons.com/text-translation and a visual dictionary http://bildwoerterbuch.pons.com/en/home next to the normal one.

Forvo:

Also many dictionaries allow you to play the words and listen to it Forvo is special as people around the world work together to put together a database for many languages where you can listen to native speakers. (Most of the time)

Anki:

Everyone has their own way to learn vocabulary. If you like learning with flash cars you should have a look at Anki. It is free highly customisable! And there are dozens of card decks available to download, ready to go. (Also I suggest making your own always with examples coming along with it!

You can add links to Anki easily so what I do for example is linking the word I learn to Forvo. If the words exist I can quickly click on it to listen to it when needed. To do so it should look similar to this:

“<a href=" http://www.forvo.com/search-de/{{German}}/" style="color: black; text-decoration:none">{{German}}</a>”

{{German}} is marks the input field for your German word that you learn.
