I find wiktionary to be very helpful, but this is when one already has a good grasp on the language; it's completely free however. I recommend also looking at wiktionary's German phrasebook

I really can't remember any books specifically. In those days I was crazy with cars and read Auto, Motor and Sport (in German), and since I already knew a bit and one should also know that Danish are German have many similar words, but a completely different grammar.
Schuh = sko = shoe
Schule = skole = school
Kartoffel = kartoffel = potato
Wagen = vogn = wagon (car)
Fraulein = froeken = miss
Frau = frue = misses
etc.
So for me, it was rather easy and the grammar was nearly the same as in Latin, which I also learned in school. For Scandinavians other languages are “easy” to learn, also because we only have sub-titles on all foreign films!! That gives us a big help as well for the pronunciation.
You know, we have a funny story about the French family visiting Germany in their car, taking the highway from Paris to Berlin. The father, driving the car, said after a few kilometers in Germany, “I think all towns in Germany are called Ausfahrt”.
You know, we also have a funny story about the German family visiting France in their car, taking the highway from Berlin to Paris. The father, driving the car, said after a few kilometers, “I think all towns in France are called Sortie”.
No funny story about the Scandinavian father, who drove through Germany to get to the south of France, he just said, you have plenty of Exits on the highways in Europe.

My recommendation would be reading as much German books as you can! Everything you can find is good. You will eventually have an idea what it's about and boom, you are learning German.

TRC
I was into science fiction in those days and read them in German. Furthermore, I looked at sports on the TV, since I knew what the journalists would be talking about.
I used to read Donald Duck comics in Finnish to improve my vocabulary, as I could get English versions of the exact same stories. And it is relatively simple language.
I need good advice on tips & nicks for learning new languages
I am dyslexic, so awful to read and write in general.
I learned English by obligation, I appoint myself to a full week technical course in data management, courses were in English in the south of Netherland. So no way to use my French …
For Spanish, I married to a Spanish girl and moved to live with her, so I’m used to say that partners are the best teachers.
