I should have guessed that you had nothing to do with the shoddy video. I appreciate the careful detail that you bring to the lessons you supervise. I'm just a beginner in German, but I am having fun listening to you and Chuck present insights that one doesn't find elsewhere. In the future I will send my critical comments on the video to Innovative Language Learning direct. Thanks again. Thanks for the response.

The mistakes made in the video vocab lessons are very embarrassing for me. Yet I can't fix them because the Berlin team is not at all involved in this series; it's produced centrally in Tokyo.

There is no pdf for the video. The video is full of errors. This must be done again. It is embarrassing. There is a misspelling of "will" as "weill". The reader is reading the wrong dialog for 2 out of three of the animals. While the peacock is showing she is reading the sentence about the swan and while the rooster is showing she is reading the lines about the crow. This is both in the teaching section and the quiz. As a teacher I know this is the worst possible error. Student seem to fix on errors and learn them better than the correct material. It is better to delay posting if you cannot meet the schedule than to display shoddy work. Back to the pdf. I really like have a few extra sample sentences using the words in the video. My overall experience with GermanPod 101 is a good one. Thanks for some great lessons. Not a good Friday. There is no pdf for the video. The video is full of errors. This must be done again.
