Are there any beautiful/elegant colored German grammer/vocab learning resources?
By color I mean where they utilize color to convey information like gender, cases etc. By elegant I mean where the font is nice, the word placement is nice etc. Example sentences illustrating the current concept/word a plus. Either free, or in the form of books. An example of this is the grammer review section in Themen Aktuell books. Basically, if I'm gonna be looking at basic German stuff every day to memorise, it might as well be pretty. EDIT: Found a few resources with basic color usage: 1. Collins easy learning German dictionary. It is more of a vocab book (maybe 5000 words in total) Nice two color format, with example sentences for most of the sentences. The more important words are color highlighted. 2. Handbuch zur deutschen Grammatik Intermediate grammar http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0495909890/ 3. A-Grammatik (also B and C grammatik) A level grammar. The A-grammatik book has instructions in English, in addition to instructions in german. Havent looked at B,C-grammatik. The solution booklet is provided. Thus, this can be used as an "examples book". Good layout, and lots of material. http://www.amazon.de/-Grammatik-Übungsgrammatik-Deutsch-Fre mdsprache- Sprachniveau/dp/3941323091/ 4.

I have English-German bilingual visual vocabulary, screenshots:

Child/ school books could also help if use them right. Check memrise.com, if you like meme-learning idea, if it's bright enough for you, this could also help. But don't wate your time on German Beginner course unless you in terrible need of speaking. I forgot nearly all pretty fast. I know that it's not exactly what you're asking, but this could be useful anyway. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It helps me with studying (not only languages) to color the books myself. Highlight, underline, make frames and so on. A standard black and white grammar is totally ok for that and I choose colors and system that I see fit. And the process of coloring as well strenghtens the memory as you spend more time looking at the thing and doing something with it as close to touch as possible.

I'm a bit OCD about not "sullying" the books by writing/underlining in them :D I might type in some tables myself in color and then just color print. For black and white resources, anyone have any links for free downloadable content? Free downloadable content I can print and underline and color. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I understand. But studying medicine has taught me to clearly diffentiate betwen books and textbooks. Books are those precious paper wrapped packages of happiness. Even some textbooks fall into that cathegory (those expensive and already colourful ones usually). Other than that, a textbook is just a tool to be used anyhow I find helpful. In the end, the content of my brain counts much more than the state of the textbook. :-) A good way to overcome this might be coloring grammarbooks/workbooks in which you are already expected to write by the design of the thing. Workbooks of Themen Aktuell are a good example or several grammar books by Hueber or Klett. Or if it is still a trouble, than download a pdf and print it or make copies from the book. I haven't found a colourful (by design) German grammarbook yet. I found a totally awesome French verbbook that uses colors perfectly (Toute la conjugaison, for those interested) but no German yet. :-( 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I have a Neue Horizonte (Fourth edition hardback) coursebook that uses colour and bold text in the way you describe.
