Two youtube channels I found useful

I found these channels useful after going though the Rocket course and starting on revision.
Learn German with Anja
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZwegPHTG4gvnR0WLzaq5OQ
A very lively and animated presenter who talks about life in Germany and her travels, also have quite a few lessons on confusing bits of grammar.
Learn German with Jenny
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZwegPHTG4gvnR0WLzaq5OQ
A rather more serious presenter with a tendency to read out lists but lots of useful explanations about usage and grammar.

Hi, Anja's channel looks entertaining, but you've given the same channel for Jenny. 

I assume that should be:

Kein Problem! 
Thanks for the tip, they look useful.
Just need to decide what's the best level to start, the beginners' looks too elementary, but the intermediate & advanced might be good for the exercise.

I was a bit puzzled by your comment about choosing a level, presumably Rocket German, then I realised that you were probably on a trial version.
I have noticed that you can take the Benchmark test for level 1 which is found in My Progress.
That should give you an idea if level 1 is too elementary for you.

Personally I joined at level 2 as I did the Rosetta beginners course and that turned out about right for me.

Sorry I was unclear, I meant the level to start at on Jenny's video set. (I haven't looked in any detail at Anja's videos yet.) The early ones are for complete beginners, which are a bit too elementary for me, since I have reached level 2 in Rocket.

Ah that explains it. Personally I have ignored germanwithjenny's levels and just picked topics of grammar/vocabulary  that I have a problem with such as when to use es gibt  v es ist/sind.

There is quite a lot in the Rocket course that doesn't get explained and I found that Jenny or Anja often have something on it.

Yes I second that sfpugh. I found Jenny and Herr Professor helps with further information and filling in the gaps. I to have a problem with es gibt versions and es ist/sind versions

Thanks for passing these links on.  It does add some clarity on some of the items like sentence structure and word genders.
