What is the best way to "relearn" it? I have got my B2 certificate when I was 17, but now I am 20 and remember little of it.

Not sure, have you tried Anki? I use that for Japanese, so I'd assume they have some flashcards for German as well.

btw Anon from /jp/ you responded to.

Why do you want to learn such a useless language?

I mean I am german, and I hate this language so much.

It sounds really angry to me, but if you speak English, I remember our teacher in high school saying that English is a Germanic language, so there are a lot of cognates.

Also, being bilingual or multilingual is hardly a bad thing.

Please don't learn german, you really don't want it, beleave me.

Learn spanish or french, they are much better

I already know a little Spanish.

But I am not trying to "learn" German, I already have a good basis. I am just rusty at it and would like to "relearn" and, after that, continue learning until fluency.

My mother tongue is not English, but I don't believe learning German through English material would be bad, would it?

Just get some books in german and read them. Maybe you should also get a dictionary and a grammar book, just in case you don't know something. That's pretty much how you increase your skills in any language that you already speak at least a bit.

Same as OP.
Can someone recommend a good grammar/sentence book freely available?
How about a good Anki deck?

What, no mention of YouTube? At this day and age?

Two names off the top of my head; Michael Mittermeier and Kaya Yanar. Mittermeier features on things like "Neues Auf Der Anstalt", Yanar on "Was Guckst Du?".

And yes, that's just one place to start. There's plenty.

If someone has a good list of sentences ready to be added to Anki, it'd be great

As our first task how about we set up how and when we learn

Any recommended, straight-forward (for someone relearning) but complete, grammar book?

Something like Tae Kim's Guide would be awesome
