Hails! Mike namo mein ist.

Hmm... I supposed I should write some kind of forward to this thing. I've been learning Gothic (gutrazda) on and off for maybe 6 or 7 years now as a hobby, and I've always been frustrated with the lack of resources on the net for learning the language. There are plenty of sites out there, but none are very comprehensive. So here is my attempt at creating something of a comprensive site that has everything I feel that I should have had available when I was first starting out. This is a work in progress, so please bear with me if it seems a little incomplete. Also, until I find a decent free web hosting service that I like, I'll be posting things here in blog format. If this works out, I won't bother moving over to a real web page, but for now I hope to someday move off of the blogosphere (I hate that word).

So, to get started, here are some awesome resources:
