Der aus meiner Sicht beste Deutschkurs, den ich kenne, ist:
ASSiMiL | A. Chérel: German without toil
Although this course was for beginners, the dialogues are—from a contemporary native speaker's perspective—impressively eloquent.

Re: German resources
I'm jumping back on my language learning journey and I'll have to sift through these resources.

Seit drei Jahren lerne ich Niederländisch mit der Duolingo-App. Meine Erfolge können sich sehen lassen: Ich habe einen 550-Tage-Streak, insgesamt 63 002 XP gesammelt, bin seit 57 Wochen in der Diamond League, habe in sechs Achievements das höchste Level erreicht und kann für jeden Monat seit August 2021 eine lückenlose Sammlung an Badges vorweisen.
Leider kann ich immer noch kein Niederländisch. Beim letzten Urlaub kam ich kaum über eine gestotterte Essensbestellung hinaus. Sprachen lernt man vor allem durch Sprechen, schon klar. Ich habe auch nie ernsthaft erwartet, allein durch eine App irgendwann flüssig parlieren zu können. Trotzdem: So grottig hatte ich mir das digitale Lernen nicht vorgestellt.

Re: German resources
An elementary German grammar, from 1930: "German Grammar Self-Taught" by W.E. Weber.
https://archive.org/details/german-gram ... weber-1930
(This is the second edition. The first edition was published in 1913. The book is part of Marlborough's Self-Taught Series, a British series which had some success in the early-to-mid twentieth century.)
The rest of this note repeats what was said for the French grammar:
There is nothing really remarkable about the book. But it does have exercises, with a complete answer key. So if someone is looking for some additional practice, maybe they will find this useful. (Unfortunately, the exercises seem to be of the disconnected sentence type. I would have preferred some connected stories or anecdotes, at least in the later chapters. I also wish the author had used the IPA, or something similar.)
I should also apologize for some of the crooked pages, as I struggled to scan this in. But to correct it, I would probably have needed to tear the book apart, which is not something I was willing to do. Also, to get a clear scan, I had to set the resolution to the highest setting (600 dpi), which produced a very large file. If anyone can compress it, without sacrificing the resolution, please let me know.
N.B. If you find the book useful, you might be interested in a similar French grammar that I scanned in:
