German Dictionaries Now Active

I have been working on getting German language (Deutsche Gebärdensprache DGS) support on line. I have now added German German (as opposed to Swiss German) dictionaries so you can practice Sharp-S's ("ß").

The "Easy Dictionary" is list of some 400 popular first names (none of which has a Sharp-S). The "hard" dictionary is a collection of about 2500 German place names. If you are using the Swiss German (DSGS) alphabet, it will display a "ß" as "ss".

The Fingerspell Flashcards may take a while to start, as everything is loaded in advance. Future enhancement: load dictionaries and photos in the background. Be patient, it will come :-). But first I want to do a German language version of the web site.

A special thanks to Jörg Reinholz of fastix.de for making a database of German Places freely available.
