Reading the article I guess Mark Twain never had a knowledgeable teacher. Is there anything hacker news readers would like to know about the German language?

I'd love to see a good textbook with MANY excercises, where I have to say or write an entire sentence, not fill in a word, like in 100% textbooks I saw.

I guess that beginner text books need to focus on teaching you one feature at a time.

It could be better if you aim for C1 level text books. But since free exercises are hard to check, it is probably not meant for a book.
