Language 30

#1 Language Learning Tapes
I've used the Language 30 learning cassettes for learning/reviewing 5 languages, and have found them to be the BEST out there. What makes them the best? The words and phrases included on the cassettes are the most relevant, they are repeated twice at a normal, yet understandable speed and you can follow along with a guide book which is well-formatted and has a pronunciation guide next to each ...

A MUST HAVE IF YOU ARE GOING TO GERMANY
Auditionging in the 21st Century, is a wonderful book for any singer/artist. It has a very personal touch from someone who has been there done that and is not afraid to talk about experiences good or bad. I wish there were more books like this that just " Tell it like it is".

Gender in Transition: Discourse and Practice in German-Speaking Europe 1750-1830 (Social History, Popular ...

University of Michigan Press, 2006

The late Enlightenment saw an acute transformation of gender definitions in the German cultural areas of Europe, leading to a ?polarization? of the sexes. Where early modern cultural norms had once affirmed a multitude of differences within society, modernity was founded on an ideal of equality which, although embraced as universal, in practice applied only to white male citizens. The new dichotomies of gender, socioeconomic status, and race ...

Laying firm foundations for spoken fluency
It's true that this set is repetetive -- that's the point. It's not boring, however. I'm halfway through the set. Since I had studied a bit of vocabulary beforehand, I find myself wishing occasionally for a faster pace, or less "white space" for practice. Still, it might be wise to err on the side of making sure a day's worth of material can really be retained. The method is quite sound: the ...

The dismissal of civil servants on racist or political grounds in April 1933 marked the beginning of a massive, forced exodus of mainly Jewish scholars and scientists from Nazi Germany--a phenomenon unprecedented in the modern history of academic life.
