    In most English-speaking countries, German is the most freqently required foreign modern research language, so here's some resources to help those considering doctoral studies in the humanities, particularly in theology.

    Coursework
    5 German courses by d.l. at Louisiana State

    Quick Translation Links
    Google Translator
    Babelfish at Yahoo

    Specialized Books
    Manton, Introduction to Theological German: A Beginner’s Course for Theological Students
    Ziefle, Modern Theological German: A Reader and Dictionary

    Validating previous learning not showing on your college transcript
    German I and II CLEP tests

    LEO (Link Everything Online) is one of the best online dictionaries out there. It is hosted at the Technical University of Munich (fantastic school by the way, if you like building stuff) and is thus really good when it comes to technical/scientific terminology.

    Thanks for the extra links, guys.

    Brief plug for Ziefle: I am reviewing using his book and it's a tremendous help. It's funny how any reading in a language stirs up stored information: Reading Ziefle's theological selections, I am once again prepared to order dinner or arrange for hotel reservations. :)

    If one has significant experience with German language and culture, then here is the site for the University of London’s high-quality, low-cost B.A. in German. They offer students examples of past exams and can link one to a tutor, but you sit for the standardized exams at any number of locations. Also, if one has previous college credit at another institution, roughly 1/3 of the courses can be transferred in.
