Hi everybody! I'm hoping you can help me help one of our German
professors who's lobbying for different textbooks for beginning and
intermediate German.  The problem seems to be that a) the new
German spelling "rules" are confusing to teach and hard to find
texts for; and b) everybody's stuck in a rut, albeit of their own
choosing.  We're currently using "Alles Gute" and have been for
years.  It's not an inspiring text!

Could you give me an idea of what texts are being used at your
individual institutions, and how the spelling changes are being dealt
with? We need to gather the information together to present a case
for changing texts next year.

Please feel free to reply to me at [log in to unmask]
instead of on the list.

Thanks.
