Well I majored in german. Also passed a Goethe Institute test. If you need help I'm there.

German CDs llamalleader May 3 2008, 19:22:23 UTC

The CDs I have go along with the Eurolingua Deutsch textbook series and are for Mittelstufe (Intermediate) 1 and 2 as per the Goethe Institute. They're not really lessons, but are good for listening to German spoken by a wide variety of people with different accents. (Let me know if you'd like a set.)

There are a couple of other good resources for listening to German - http://www.tagesschau.de/ is the most authoritative TV newscast and Deutsche Welle http://www.dw-world.de/ has a really badly designed site that can often be convinced to cough up programming in simpler German.

I really wish that the Goethe Institute had a location closer than Vancouver, BC.
