You may use, instead of an e-book, the free online tool offered by Deutscher Volkshochschulverbandĭeutscher Volkshochschulverband is the nation-wide association of 'Volkshochschule' adult education centers. If you decide not to do it, definitely try it out once you become more accustomed to the language as far as drilling goes, it might be the best thing out there in my opinion.Online courses for German at levels A1, A2, B1 If you're halfway through Assimil and Michel Thomas (both great courses, by the way) then you should be able to get started on it, just don't burn yourself out. For a beginner that doesn't know these rules yet, it might be a bit daunting, though I will say that I got some benefit out of it when I tried using it at your level (I only did the first few units then). I've found that if you walk into it having a good idea of all general grammar, the drills serve as practice that helps to become more automatic. Though I'm somewhere in the B1-B2 range (intermediate to advanced intermediate) I'm still getting a lot out of it. Personally, I just started using it again.

It might be a good idea to wait until you finish Assimil but you can try it out and just stop for a while if things aren't working out with it. It depends how much time you have, but you also don't want to burn yourself out. Wow thank you so much, this is exactly the type of answer I was looking for! I'll definitely be checking these books out I love workbook style resources because frankly, nothing beats drilling until it comes naturally when it comes to grammar.

Here are some that helped me: If I could only pick one, I would pick Practice Makes Perfect: German Problem Solver, use it to practice shaky grammar areas, make me aware of new ones, look up Youtube videos for deep explanations, then use this book for practice. Youtube videos - not a book, but just looking up things like 'accusative vs dative' helped clarify things for me, I'm more of a 'visual/see-it-in-action' kind of guy. It can be so detailed that you will go to it for an explanation and just end up completely overwhelmed and confused I just wanted to make you aware that it exists. However, I would wait before you get this. Hammer's German Grammar (reference) - This is a great book to have for reference, as it is very detailed some treat it as the German grammar Bible. It's similar to Schaum's, in that it's more of a practice workbook than a resource (though it gives basic summaries), but it's a great source to practice from. Practice Makes Perfect German Problem Solver (late beginner-intermediate) - I really like this one and still use it.

Schaum's German Grammar (beginner-intermediate?) - This won't really teach you grammar (though they do provide summaries of grammar points) but it contains a lot of exercises. Hugo 3 Months (late beginner) - This isn't really a 'grammar' book, per se, more of a program, but I was able to get some good grammar practice with this. The Everything Learning German Book (Beginner) - Good for getting your feet wet, gives you a basic rundown without being overly complicated. What level are you? Here are some that helped me:
