| Stammtisch Friends |

Teachers, students of all levels, members and guests meet weekly on Wednesdays at a local restaurant to practice and enhance their language skills. Starts at 9.00 PM Wednesdays. Join with us for an informal meeting where German is spoken while you enjoy food and drink of your choice. Bring a friend. There is no entry fee and you don't have to be a GLS student or member. This is a program which reaches out to the German speaking and German learning community. If your German is rusty, here is an opportunity to exercise it. If you are fluent you can help a beginner. If you are taking German in High School this will increase your momentum. If you can't think of German words, fill in the spaces mit englisch. Please e-mail us and ask to enrol on our Stammtisch announcement list to get weekly Stammtisch announcements. |

| GREAT LITERATURE IN GERMAN | |
![]() |
Here you will be able to read or download the works of world-famous authors from Aesop to Zola. Aesop's Fables, Shakespeare and Charles Dickens Christmas Story (Ebenezer Scrooge) read very well auf deutsch. Shakespeare is performed more extensively in Germany than here because his works really spring to life in German. The collection of authors is very extensive and the site is very easy to navigate. It is truly a library of classics, probably one of the top literary sites in Germany. Click on Projekt Gutenberg Back to Table of Contents |

We hope to see you in class. Herzliche Grüße.......Auf Wiedersehen The German Language School, Manchester, New Hampshire |
