Website: German Language Articles on Wikihow.com

The site wikiHow.com has several articles on learning the German language. WikiHow is a site composed of "how-to" articles. The site works much like Wikipedia: anyone can add and edit pages on the site. In addition, the site is freely sharable for any non-commercial purpose.

The site's German page currently list 16 articles, as well as 5 articles that require further editing. The current articles cover basic German phrases and vocabulary, such as How to Talk About Yourself in German and How to Count to 10 in German. The articles usually describe how to pronounce the terms and gives learning tips.

The World Languages and Multiple Language Guides pages have articles for language learning in general. The site also has a Travel to Germany page.

The number of German language articles is currently pretty sparse and just covers basic vocabulary, but there is potential for users of the site to add more German language articles. (Writing a new article could be a great way to practice your German!) The standard setting is to have ads in the middle of the text of the article, but you can hide the ads by clicking on "Hide all ads" in the right column.
