I am not doing to good in my German class and I was wondering if anyone knew of a way I could learn outside of school? Maybe a site that teaches the basics? Or maybe someone on here that is willing to help? I really have no clue on how I can get some help, only like three people at school *all grades* are taking German. The requirements were set pretty high and how I made it I have no idea. But the two other people are these two girls I can't stand so that wouldn't work out. And truthfully, they aren't doing too good either.

Anyone have any suggestions?

These sites may help you.

You could also ask your teacher for help before or after school.

4. Online Tutoring: Consider hiring an online tutor who can provide personalized instruction and guidance. Websites like iTalki and Preply offer language tutors from around the world.

5. German Language Meetups: Check if there are any local German language meetups or language exchange events in your area. These can be great opportunities to practice speaking and listening to German with native speakers.

6. German Language Books and Resources: Visit your local library or bookstores for German language learning books and resources. You can find textbooks, grammar guides, vocabulary books, and more. Online platforms like Amazon also offer a wide range of German learning materials.

7. Ask your teacher for help: If you're struggling with certain concepts or topics in German class, don't hesitate to reach out to your teacher for extra help. They might be able to provide additional resources or offer guidance on how to improve your German skills.

Remember, consistency and practice are key to learning a language. Try to set aside regular study time and practice using German in your everyday life as much as possible. Good luck with your German learning journey!
