I just have a question:
Any recommendations for German language starters (completely new in German)
Useful sites, books, songs, movies, tv shows... etc.
I've started learning German on Babbel.com and it feels great, but I also want some other material to learn from. Thanks in advance.

Oh, you actually started with German, that's great! There are a lot of excellent resources, so make sure what you want and why you want to learn German. I think Babbel is a really good basis to get started, so just make sure that the other resource is fun for you. I think with reading and podcasts you still have to wait a bit but there are actually some easy things for beginners.
I recommend you choose a resource that you like and that is fun for you. Good luck!
Thankfully German has a plethora of resources to learn from. For me the best places to start have been Lingq, because I was exposed to a lot of the actual everyday German from the very beginning, and "Dino lernt Deutsch" series has been amazing too. Duolingo stories as the previous comment said are great fun and quickly builds up the necessary vocabulary. For grammar I have found "German Grammar Drills" by Ed Swick to be really effective. Viel Glück!
@JulianiTOgo Oh, mate thank you! Sorry if I'm bothering you but I have one more question since I see that you are native German. Could you recommend me some well-known (classic) german movie or tv-series? I know that I'm still not on that level but I just want to listen to some natural German because I've noticed that I learn a lot by just listening and reading subtitles. Thank you a lot, you are such a kind person.
@Roya Thanks a lot, I will try out all of your recommendations. Vielen Dank, Auf Wiedersehen :).
@mladen_ Gerne :) With German movies, it's difficult to access them but I can recommend you to watch Babylon Berlin for instance. It's a relatively new series about the 20s in Germany. Dark is a mystery series on Netflix, also recommendable. ARD and ZDF, the public TV channels have all their content online with subtitles but you can't watch everything in any place of the world.
@JulianiTOgo Danke!
