A friend sent a web page that helped you learn German. After you sign up, you recieved a "word of the day", and a short story in German, followed by the same story in Englisch. My computer crashed about the same time, and so did my friends computer. We have lost that address. Anyone know of this web page?..........Ralph Vest Ozark, MO

Here is the copy of the newsletter that I sent him also. Hope this is what you are looking for.

Do NOT send an unsubscribe request to your Guide. It will only delay the process (i.e., it won't work). ------------------------------------------------------------- WEB EDITION OF THIS NEWSLETTER - A Web edition of this newsletter is posted each week in German Forum 1 in the read-only "Newsletter" folder. The Web edition appears a few days later than the email edition. You do NOT have to be a member of our Forum to view the Web edition of the newsletter. Back issues of ABOUT GERMAN are also archived in Forum 1 at: http://forums.about.com/ab-german/ (then go to the "Newsletter" folder to find all issues of ABOUT GERMAN) ------------------------------------------------------------- NEW EXERCISES & THE SEASONS - LEKTION 12 This week you'll find new exercises for Lektion 12 of German for Beginners. In addition to the existing coverage of the days, months and calendar dates, I have added a section on the four seasons (die vier Jahreszeiten). So if you have already studied Lektion 12, you may want to look at the new section on the seasons. They are included in the new exercises! All of our German lessons are available online - 24/7 - for free. - http://german.about.com/library/anfang/blanfang12.htm WER BIN ICH? - RATESPIEL 6 "Ein Krater auf dem Mond traegt meinen Namen." That's just one of the clues in the latest installment of our "Wer bin ich?" biographical guessing game. This game series has been very popular in the past and is suitable for intermediate to advanced German-learners. This time there's no prize being offered, but I will publish the names and cities of the Top 10 entrants who email me the correct answer. For most of you the real fun has been the challenge of the game more than the prize anyway. See if you can come up with... Persoenlichkeit 6 des biografischen Ratespiels. TIPP: Man kann die Antwort auf Ratespiel 6 auf den Seiten der German Language-Website finden! - http://german.about.com/library/blwer06.htm DRUCKVERSION - PRINTER VERSION PAGES Months ago I added a few special "printer version" pages to some of the lessons in German for Beginners, but I never received any feedback about it one way or the other. Printer version pages allow you to print out pages without all the extra stuff on both sides. I get a few requests for printer versions now and then, so for the new Lektion 12 I've also included special "Druckversion" pages that you can link to by clicking on a special page icon. If you like the idea, or have comments about it, I'd like to hear from you. In the long run, I think About should start providing printer version pages on all About sites and pages, but for now you'll find printer version pages for new lessons in German for Beginners.
