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.
