If you have already invested the time and effort to learn some German, let Schau ins Land help you take your language skills to the next level.

Hosted by veteran German broadcaster Axel Fitzke and edited by Tim Obojski, a seasoned writer for the American and German press, each bimonthly edition (six issues a year) is an unbeatable combination of entertaining audio, rich annotation, and challenging pedagogy.

If you think cable television, radio, or the Internet offer comparable benefits, consider this: each issue of Schau ins Land comes on an audio CD or cassette so that you can work on your German while commuting, jogging, walking the dog, or cooking dinner. Just pop the CD or cassette into any standard player and listen anytime you want! Each hour-long program is packed with interesting news, interviews, music, and features on topics ranging from politics and current affairs to sports, travel, film, and literature--all presented in German by native speakers from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. You also get a magazine containing a word-for-word printed transcript of the program. Difficult words are highlighted in bold in the text and defined in an extensive German-English glossary (Wortschatz). This is conveniently placed on the right-hand facing pages throughout the transcript section of the booklet. At the back of the booklet there is also an Anmerkungen section: extensive background notes that give you additional information about the people, places, and issues discussed in the program.
