Langenscheidt: Foreign Language Learning Series Reviews

[Irishborne]

How are the newer Berlitz programs? I just got one as an early christmas present.

I found some good teaching material on the internet. Google "Ferd'nand".

These are wordless cartoons. I have the students describe the situation trying to use all the important structures. Then I have the students role play the situation.

I've had a lot of success with this. It's the fastest way I've seen to give them a good command of important structures.

This is good material for language exchanges too.  It's good for any language.

Some dumbing-down has happened with Langenscheidt, but it has not gotten too far. It is still a great text, as the professor says.

@robertogan I started to learn German with Langenscheidt two days ago and I think that they make fantastic books!
