It's a great way to learn and practically get a college education except you don't get the degree.

HOLY CRAP!
I want bad people to look forward to and celebrate the day I die, because if they don't, I'm not living up to my potential.

I find the German language course at http://fsi-language-courses.com/ rather funny. Here follows two highly sophisticated, academic excerpts:

QuoteGerman nouns have three genders: masculine, feminine and neuter. We will not use this terminology because it tends to mislead English-speaking students by suggesting that the German noun-classification has something to do with sex differentation.

Yep, German is a highly erotic language. If you'd like to impress your girlfiend then you should send her a loveletter written in German :lol:

QuoteThe German word for 'wine' is 'der Wein'. And you must practice saying 'der Wein' often enough so that 'das Wein' or 'die Wein' sounds as wrong to you as 'the father of this country -- Henry Washington'. Now 'Henry Washington' is a perfect name; but it's wrong and every American knows it is wrong. By the same token, 'das Wein' is a perfectly good form; but is is wrong, and every German knows it's wrong. In time you will too.

I really wonder how many Americans actually know who the father of their country is. The idea of spicing a German language course up with patriotic themes is ofcourse a wonderful idea, afterall the Americans gave the Germans a beating in WW-II  :wink:.

and somewhat in WWI, Tom... but that's neither here nor there.  I took German for about 6 years in high school and college, and most of the teachers added the caveat about masculine, feminine, and neuter having nothing to do with male-female sex(as in THE sexes not the gettin' down type of sex)  And don't ask me anything in german cuz basically all I remember is how to count, and other simple shit.

Anyway, I was really impressed with the MIT site.  I didn't look at them all, but they had a ton of syllabi and assignments.  The Penn site was kind of weak, lots of dead links.

No problem - they are wonderful resources for self-education and I think everyone should make use of them.
