German Online
These two sites have become part of my daily online browsing:
Haus Maus: Holly (who also has one of my favorite design blogs, decor8, which is where I met my friend Aude who lives in Paris) is setting up a part-time residence in Hannover, Germany, with her husband, and chronicles all the ups and downs of trying to furnish an apartment when you (a) are not living in the same country yet, and (b) are not completely familiar with all the best brands and stores.
In June I found Vocabulix, a free site with German vocabulary and grammar drills (they have Spanish, too). In addition to that, I’ve been writing with some people in Germany - they practice they’re English with me, and vice versa.
