New subscriber login

Subscribers will note that to log in to the German Online Exercises Index is now a little different. The change should be for the better, as you will only have to log in once during a browser session. Usernames and passwords are the same as before. Please contact me if you have any difficulties.

New address: www.germanteaching.com

Regular visitors will have noticed some transformations to this website recently. Even bigger changes have been happening behind the scenes...

www.germanteaching.com is the new home for my language resources!

Great resources, most of which are available for free, are still are feature of my website. I'll continue to have resources for Chinese, ESL, Indonesian and Japanese, but the new website address and name reflect what I spend a lot of my time doing: teaching German.

There will be some further changes as I refine the way the site works over the next few weeks.

I welcome feedback on the new look at www.germanteaching.com and encourage you to change your bookmarks to the new address.
