F*k Yeah, Deutsch

Never mind the title of this Tumblr, it’s a mostly text-based Tumblr for learning German words and expressions. In their own words: “a tip a day keeps the bad grades at bay!” Unfortunately, this Tumblr hasn’t been updated for a while, but the archive goes back until December 2010, so there’s a lot of material to discover.
