Im confused which recourses to use and how to use it .
I see people using Nicos weg and nancy thuleen. Also German how to speak and write and Basic German A grammar and workbook.How do I utilise them?
(Im currently doing a level German but I’m so far behind so I’m trying to catch up during my breaks)

Study topic by topic and use whatever source you can find. that’s my tactic. There is no golden key to learn. Focus on learning and use every source you have access.

You don’t use multiple sources from start to finish. You use them to learn the part which you want to learn.

# shy tree I just don’t want to be overwhelmed by using many resources

This is just a suggestion. 🙂 take it with a grain of salt.

Try to divide the resources you gathered to: Primary Materials (which ones you'll be using the most) and Secondary Materials (which you can just use whenever).

A workbook is a good choice as a primary, just make sure that book also teaches you the grammar. If you have them seperate, use the book that teaches you grammar as a reference, the one you can look at for further explanations and such. A secondary would be like Podcasts and such.

No need to use multiple all at once! If you wanna use a few, maybe dedicate a time within the day to use them. A study plan and schedule would probably help you feel less overwhelmed (eg what skill area do you want to focus on specific days and when would you prefer to use other materials than the main ones you use)

For example: Use the workbook and the grammar book (or both in one book like Grammatik aktiv book) on Monday at 9:30-11. Take a break. Then if you want to review it, make some time to Google things up. Then during your free time you can just watch or listen to a German media.
