Basic "Wie geht's?" Vocabulary
CLIP2GO This is a great site for building vocabulary by looking at words and their translations and hearing them pronounced: choose words either individually, or based on word lists they provide, organized by topic or e.g. based on famous poems. Meanings of the words are shown when you roll the mouse over them, and any word with a "target"-symbol next to it has been recorded and you can listen to it by clicking on the target. Set "your language" to German and then search for any random German word in order to get German word lists to choose from rather than English ones. Before using the site for the first time, you might want to follow the "About Clip2Go" link for information on how to navigate the site.
