The Process

In this section you will find all sorts of material and information that will help you complete the tasks. Complete one task after the other. If you find it hard to remember and organize the amount of information you are given on the Internet pages, you might find it easier to answer the questions in the "How to perform the tasks" section first. These questions will guide you to the most important information.

 

In addition to the list of words you were given at the beginning, you can use a dictionary or you can use Alta Vista's Babelfish. Open Babelfish in a new window of your Browser, then you can look up words whenever you need to without returning to this page. (Right-click on Babelfish, choose "In neuem Fenster öffnen" from the menu. Remember to change the options in Babelfish from "Deutsch ins Englische" to "Englisch ins Deutsche").
