Since they have same questions on different language learning SE websites([resources for learning Russian][1]), I'd like to write one for German language since it's a great idea to have all kinds of resources in one place.

This is a specifically created Community Wiki which gathers resources for learning German and it has been approved by the Community itself.

It should be clear that **the resources are not written by one user or only by the mods, but *by whoever wants to contribute***. 

Just write in the appropriate answer/section. If you have concerns, questions, [post a meta question][2], so we don't clutter the comments, but you can link your meta question from the comments.

Questions regarding such resources **are not allowed anymore**, except for very specific and on topic requests (ask on [Meta][2] if you're unsure about your question). Follow the instructions made in the question about how to post, what can be posted, etc.


<br>
### Organization <br><br>

 - Answers have a type of resource **each**.
 - If possible, state whether the material is directed towards a **beginner**, **intermediate** or an **advanced** audience.
 - **Do not** include links that lead to illegal content or sites that host such content. If you see any, please **flag for moderator attention** and choose "other" so you can point us to the content. We'll delete it as soon as we see the flag.
 - Both free and commercial resources are allowed, but make sure to include a note if they are. Remember the [rules about self-promotion][3]. Include also if registration is required.
 - Include links to the sites only, *don't post images*, they would take too much space.
 - Add the resources in alphabetical order so they're easier to find. :)

*Note: new rules could be added in the future.*
