Hello,
My German is something between A2 and B1...studying as usual is not making me improve so I think the best way to surpass this is start reading textes and so. Do you have any kind of links with good material for me to improve? I really want to speak German fluently... 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I'm around the same level as you are, so I don't have any recipe for success. However,
try listening to podcasts/news and watch movies. There is a bunch of material already suggested around the forum, so you can try searching in old threads. 1 Soap Opera 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Well I'm reading comics right now in French and German and it is GREAT. I tried reading a Stephen King
book in German just now but it was just way too tedious. I have the same book (The Green Mile) in English and I would say the character of the text can for stylistic purposes or whatever be somewhat unforgiving for the language learner. That's not to mention books like Dostojevskijs Brothers Karamazov or The Idiot, which are a complete mess even in my native language lol. So comics are perfect for me. So far I've read some albums of Tintin, Asterix, The Walking Dead, Unter dem Hakenkreuz, Donald Duck, Star Wars Comic, Simpsons Comic and Futurama Comic. For a good story some of the earlier Tintin albums are definitely favorites, while for a good laugh Simpsons and Futurama are great. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

My sister bought a bunch of original German comic books but I haven't got around to reading them yet. One
of them is called "Die Plastikmadonna" and she said it was good. I haven't been to Germany for a while but when I go I will definitely buy loads of comics. Otherwise you could try Amazon or something, for ex http://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/s/ref=is_box_?__mk_de_DE=%C5M%C5Z %D5%D1&k=Simpsons+comic As far as the quality of translation goes I assume it's of good quality. I got some laughs out of reading Simpsons and Futurama for sure 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Oh damn my bad, both Unter dem Hakenkreuz and Die Plastikmadonna are actually by French. Oh well,
atleast they seem to have a rich comic culture in France =) I'm sure there are good original German comics too I didn't look for them yet Edited by anime on 21 August 2013 at 9:34pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

"rich comic culture"? that is much of an understatement. France-Belgium is one of the key comic traditions of the world. I'd say the USA, France-Belgium and Japan put together vast majority of comic books, each representing different kinds and genres.
I found this wiki list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_comic_books#Germany_.28 Comic.29 hmm. it is a starting point but I have no idea what to expect. The French part is very incomplete which gives me hope there is much more in German as well. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Yeah that German comics list didn't look too convincing. "Various gay comics by Ralf König" :) Edited by anime on 21 August 2013 at 11:55pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
