Many of the books and tapes I buy at local bookstores or order from
Amazon.
It's easier than dealing with the individual publishers, and you can
easily compare different offerings, and some of the publishers have
crappy websites (difficult navigation or searching, strange order forms
(like, you can order only one product at a time so shipping charges are
high), or java and graphics madness). Also see the Learning Resources
sections of my
German,
Spanish,
Bahasa Indonesia,
and
Afrikaans
pages.
Langenscheidt, and here
- German publishing house. Excellent dictionaries for many languages.
Living Language,
and here
- All-Audio casette courses (some of my favorites, good for
commuters), and Basic/Intermediate/Advanced book/casette
courses.
Penton Overseas, Inc.
- Learn In Your Car, Vocabulearn. The Vocabulearn series is excellent
for vocabulary building. The Learn In Your Car series seems to be a
bit advanced for the beginner, but good when you're ready to attack
all those nasty declensions and conjugations; for true beginners, the
Living Language All-Audio courses are a better choice.
