Title: Website: Fluent French
Body: Editorial review of: http://www.signiform.com/french/ This website asks (and answers!) the question: "What would it be like to speak French fluently?" The table of contents is extensive, with observations about French conversational tics and television, the problems of translation (under "Explosion of words") and more. There is much to learn here, and the tone is conversational and relaxed. Mueller, E. (1998). Fluent French: Experiences of an English speaker. http:// www.signiform.com/french/ (20 Aug. 2004).

Title: Website: Spanish Verb Wall
Body: From the Verb Wall Virtual Workshop site: http://www.verbwall.com/VWVW/VWVWMain.htm To be effective, the Verb Wall must be displayed in the classroom. (It requires an area about 8' high and at least 16'-18' wide, although adaptations can be done to make it work in smaller areas.) The idea is to get the verbs up out of the textbook, out of the computer, and display them on a timeline large enough that you and your students can actually stand in the various time zones. The "bigness" of the wall is intentional. The learner of the new language is child-like in his learning needs, regardless of his age. For that reason, the students should be allowed to approach the wall, observe the endings close up, and feel themselves moving through the time zones. The wall should be a physical as well as mental experience that makes the verbs come to life outside of the confines of the textbook or computer. As Pam explains on the site, a verb wall for the English language also exists.

Title: Olympics in German
Body: To celebrate the biggest and oldest sports games in the world, the Goethe Institut offers a wide range of projects and articles on the Olympic Games 2004 in Athens. The topics range from portraits of German sportsmen and women, introductions to less well-known sports, to exhibitions and techno and classical concerts - organized by the Goethe Institut in Athens, the world's largest Goethe Institut. At the Odeon of Herodes Atticus on August 23, Leipzig's Gewandhaus orchestra will be playing and the Schaubühne am Leniner Platz (Berlin) will be staging their dance theater production. "The Olympic Games provide us with a unique opportunity of presenting the modern, up-beat Germany," says Georg Blochmann, program coordinator at the Goethe Institut in Athens. Luckily for all non-Athenians, most of the activities can also be found on the Goethe Institut's website. All texts are available in both English and German. www.goethe.de/enindex.htm www.goethe.de/athen German Information Center. Germany in Class Newsletter. (18 Aug. 2004).
