| Title | Resources for Language Class from Wikipedia |
| Body | Editor's note: The following message, recently posted on the AATG listserv, was intended for teachers of German; however, the source also provides information in Japanese, Swedish, Polish, Spanish, French, Dutch, Portuguese, and Italian. ---- I just accidentally stumbled onto another cool thing to do with Wikipedia (the free online encyclopedia available in umpteen languages). I was browsing de.wikipedia.org, when I noticed that the the birthdate of an author I was reading about was linked. (Arno Schmidt 18. Januar, ) When I clicked on the date, I was taken to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/18._Januar a great list of info in German a la "This day in history". So I checked out my son's and wife's birthdays too. For every day of the calendar, wikipedia lists historical events, holidays around the world, birthdays, death days...a rich resource...IN GERMAN!! (and in English too, ie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_18th). DesPresberry, Byron. [AATG-L] a cool way to use my favorite online encyclopedia.
