What it actually is
DW's flagship course follows Nico, a young Spaniard newly arrived in Germany, through a proper filmed storyline; each episode is followed by vocabulary, grammar and listening exercises. The narrative pull makes it far easier to keep going than a textbook, and it covers A1 through B1 completely. Free with an optional account for progress tracking — the single best starting point for a new German learner.
