Lingoda is a language learning online teaching platform, which offers online classes for all levels 24/7, in French, German, Spanish, English and Business English. I personally participated in the French Lingoda Language Sprint, and it immensely improved my grammar, speaking and conversational skills in just 2 months. I have also taken regular classes in German, to learn grammar and practice conversations.

LingQ is the best language learning app that I have found.

Journal d'une peste is a children's book that I stumbled upon at a local book fair. It is hilarious, very creatively written, and features a lot of slang which I personally think is perfect if you are at a B2 level, or are wanting to learn more conversational French. The book is written from the perspective of a teenage girl, as if she is writing in her diary, so it makes for a very interesting story!
