Gateway To German Diction (W/Cd)

Initiating a new series of coordinated diction manuals and anthologies, this book helps students to move beyond diction to clear understanding and authentic style. Thomas Hampson says, "This guide not only achieves an excellent study of the tools for poper translation and diction, it goes much deeper and more importantly to the teaching of musical and poetic expression from the inner side ofthe language." Every German example word or phrase is translated into English and is also spoken perfectly on the included CD by trained actress, Dr. Nora Henry, from Hanover, Germany.
