German readers.
Hello, I'm trying to cram as many languages as I can before I go for my masters, and I was hoping to find a reader for a beginner in German. For grammar I am using an old text my one prof gave me, German for Reading Knowledge. Any reccomendations?

Re: German readers.
Just as food for thought: I visit our local library maybe once a month, and. at least 'our' local branch here in La Crosse WI has a program called friends of the library, and there is a little book shop within that library where you can buy books that have been removed from circulation. Over the last couple years I've bought my grandson a couple German books and dictionaries. There can be a wealth of information for often pennies on the dollar. While I've not found a particular Latin book yet, I keep looking : ) Good luck in your endeavors here Bill PS: The Library is also a good source, hundreds of books and tapes I take advantage of that source too, check them out for free... : )Bretonus wrote:Hello, I'm trying to cram as many languages as I can before I go for my masters, and I was hoping to find a reader for a beginner in German.

Re: German readers.
I recommend Deutsche Sprachlehre für Ausländer by Schulz and Griesbach, which I've used when tutoring German. It's intended as a textbook but can also be used as a reader.

If you haven't already, also take a look at the German lessons from the radio station Deutsche Welle.
I've compiled a list of some more resources here.

Re: German readers.
I considered getting that book, but I couldn't find any excerpts or good descriptions of it to know what to expect. Thank you. It should arrive within a couple weeks. I will probably not even start until the end of April though, given this term's schedule. Thanks again, I had a really difficult time finding a good reader at the beginner level.
