| Title | Das Goethe Haus: Interactive Online Site |
| Body | Das Goethe Haus…. this is an animated house located in the city of Weimar. Here the 29 year old journalist Wolfgang lives alone. His girlfriend Katharina, 26, also lives in Weimar but she has her own apartment; Wolfgang and Katharina spend a lot of time together. When you get to the page, ring the door bell and Wolfgang will open the door and will invite you to come in. You are in the entry hall. Wolfgang will accompany you through the house; in fact he is somehow attached to the movement of the mouse/cursor. And he talks to you—in German of course. Through him you will discover a “typical” German house, a lot of German culture and more. On the bottom of the screen are some exercises that you can complete if you like. Also, whatever German text you see, it can be read to you and you can follow along. When you have moved Wolfgang to a particular place, a green balloon will pop up and Wolfgang will say the word. Click on it and you will be taken to the place. For example, when Wolfgang moves towards the “Arbeitszimmer” you will proceed to go into the Arbeitszimmer = study or office by clicking on the balloon. It needs a little time to get used to this guy. But the German you hear is outstanding. Available at http://www.goethe.de/ins/jp/pro/goethe-haus . Carlson, A.
