Sport 1

A great website to cover many sports in Germany is www.sport1.de. The website has a top story on the front, but has headlines and summaries about many other stories. On the left side there are links to pages for individual sports. By clicking on one of these sports, a new page will come up with another top story for that particular sport. On the soccer page, there are yet more links on the left side about leagues such as the Champions League and the Premier League. The sports that sport1.de offers are soccer, Formula 1 racing, basketball, tennis, golf, track, handball, football, boxing, hockey, cycling, and others. This website is intended to be read by Germans, so it is difficult to read for some of the earlier classes, but German III and IV students would be able to understand most of the material.

Yahoo Sports Germany

The Yahoo German sport website give information about most current German sports, such as news, scores, and upcomming events. On the Home Page there are information on car racing, hockey, skiing, golf and soccer. The Home Page also provides links to many other sports. This will probably be suitible for German IV and advanced German III students.

Kindernetz

Kindernetz is a great child-oriented site. The games and puzzles encourage creativity and reinforce educational values, while providing fun and safe entertainment for children. One of the most interesting areas of the site is called "Bibliothek Geschichte," which is a collection of add-on stories written by users. Anyone can log onto the site, read the stories, and contribute their own new twist. This would be an excellent tool for those learning German as a second language by sharpening reading comprehension skils and building vocabulary.

Porsche

On this web site you can choose the country you would like to investigate. A search of the site can be conducted by searching for what is wanted, or you can pick the area you would like to explore with its graphical menus. The site gives information about Porsche, Clubs, and Dealer Locations. You can get a screensaver, wallpaper, sounds, or play a game. If the funds and need is available, you can purchase a Porsche online. The German on this site is a little difficult in some areas, especially when 'car language' is being used to describe what all the Porsche has under its hood and between its two doors. If there is something you do not understand, you can go back and go to the English part of the site to understand the words you do not.

Harry Potter

This web site would most likely be for german 4. It is a little difficult to understand at times, but it has a lot of interesting information about Harry Potter. The web site has news about Harry Potter. It has information about J.K. Rowlings, and the movies. Profiles are given for the creators of the site along with their e-mail addresses if someone wishes to contact them. This site also has a place for fan-art of several of the characters and places from the book with a description of each. If a person becomes a member of the site they get sorted into houses and are able to get into forums and chatrooms.

Star Wars

This site would be for more excelled german students. Slightly difficult to understand but very informative. It containes many links to other starwars related topics I believe is one of the best site for german star wars fans out there. It contains many chat forums and dates for conventions. There is also a online store where you can buy merchandise and other items.

Kinderfunk-Haus

This is a website for kids to learn more about this particular radio station. They can ask questions and find out when different programs are on the air. They can find out popular music for the month. They can also find information about the program and the people who run the station. It is very basic German.

Hit Parade

The website Hitparade.ch is about the top music singles and CDs for Switzerland and surrounding countries, including Germany. This page also includes links to movie charts and other forms of entertainment. Most of the news headlines are in English, and the articles are easy to read also. The layout is easy to read and does not take long to get where you want to go. I recomend this page for people who can read German, and want to know about the types of music that Germans listen to.

Rhein Hotels

This website discusses the different castles in Germany. It shows which ones are available for people to stay in for vacations. It gives information about the different castles such as how long you can stay in them and how much they cost. It also has links to hotels and resteraunts throughout the area surrounding the castles. It is a very informative page if you are interested in staying anywhere in or around a castle in Germany, or if you just want to learn about the castles.

Das Deutsche Musikportal

This Website discusses music in Germany. It has charts, bands, and about fans. It also talks about music in the certain cities in Germany> It also shows dates and times of concerts. I think that this is a good website to intertwine the American taste of music and Germany's taste of music. I think this website is suitable for German II, III, and IV. German II might have a tough time with the words but i think they could understand it for the most part

Harry Potter

This website talks about all things "Harry Potter". It concentrates on the books more than the films, and is a good source of information about them. There is a lexicon explaining words and characters in the books, the website also has a virtual owl adoption, summaries of book chapters, FAQs, links, tips, and access to the HP international website. In the website, there are also updates about JK Rowling's appearances around the world. This is a quality website, and should probably be read by German 3 and 4 students.

Neue Horizonte

Neue Horizonte is a great website if you use the books. There is a great deal of information and educational help on the website. I think it would be a great book to have in the future since the students can access the website and have a better learning experience. There are short quizes that are directly related to the stories which could help students prepare for tests.
