Ein schönes Büchlein ist Count Your Way Through Germany!

This little book is quite unique. Although written in English, it presents some interesting snippets of German culture. I love the cover: a picture of Der Rattenfänger von Hameln (The Pied Piper of Hamlin). I have my own language school, and hold a Master's degree and PA Teaching Certification in German. This will be a great text for me to use to introduce German culture to children OR adults. Gott sei dank, the author does not depend on stereotypical examples, such as the Alps, Lederhosen, Wurst, Bier, to present the numbers from 1-10. Whether he is well acquainted with Germany's culture and history through his own study of German, or not, the author, nevertheless, reflects his wish to provide accurate information. I offer kudos to him for his attention to correct English grammar as well. I can't wait until Count Your Way Through Germany 1-20 comes out!

A wonderful book to introduce German culture!

As a teacher of German in an elementary school, it is always difficult to find appropriate (if any) books to use in the classroom. Although this book is written in English, therefore technically off-limits in my German-only program, it has wonderful cultural ties that can be used at some point in my classes. The pictures, if nothing else, give a lot of information about German culture. This is also a great book for regular classroom teachers wanting to introduce a new culture to their students. What a thrill to find!
