Language and Literature Links

I decided to try to find the text to Friedrich Schiller's 'An die Freude' (Ode to Joy) but all I could come up with was the excerpted text used by Beethoven in his Ninth Symphony. But here are the fruits of my labors: sites that can serve as resources for those learning or teaching German. As I may someday end up teaching German, this page could serve me well in the future.

 

This looks like a great site for those who are just starting out in learning German and for those who want to review their Grammar. I haven't had a chance to really see what the quality of the offerings is, but at first glance it looks pretty good.	Studienbibliothek
Robert J. Shea's German Resources is itself a powerful list of links to things German. Everything from literature to history to tourism is there.	German Resources
This site has dictionaries not only of English and German but also for many other languages.	A Web of On-line Dictionaries
The weekly German Newspaper, Die Zeit. Well worth a read for the in depth articles on a large range of topics. For the advanced student.	Die Zeit
Geo magazine is a great place to read about science and travel and history. Their online offerings are pretty good, too.	Geo Magazin
This site doesn't have much to do with language or literature, but I couldn't let it get away without being documented somewhere. It has links to sources of all kinds of maps. Presumably you could find some decent maps of Germany too (which justifies the presence of this link here).	Maps
I found this site the other day when I was looking for the text to one of my favorite 'Lieder' (songs) by Schubert. The CD I have doesn't have the texts with it but I wanted to sing along and figure out what the words were. It turns out that this site has the texts to Lieder written by just about every composer you could ever imagine wrote a Lied. Including Friedrich Nietzsche!	Lieder Texte
