Uses: Students can log onto this site for free and do different activities, such as look at the accompanying video (German "soap opera" for students, written at the level of each chapter and using new vocabulary learned in the chapter), use the online sections of the workbook and the grammar and vocabulary exercises (and send their answers by email to other students or teacher), do internet activities, listen to the audio library, textbook audio program and listening activities.
