MY RECOMMENDATION: Yes
AMAZON SUBSCRIPTION LINK: Olympia 1936
WEB ADDRESS: http://olympia1936.blogspot.com
BLOG DESCRIPTION: The 1936 Olympics brought 50 nations and hundreds of athletes to Berlin. A commemorative two-book set of the history of the games was produced, illustrated by cigarette cards (a popular collectible at the time). This blog takes excerpts from these books, and translates them into English, to help people build their German vocabulary (or their English vocabulary) and learn a bit about sports, and the Olympics of 1936.
(It does *not* teach German grammar. It is strictly to increase people's vocabulary.)
MY REVIEW: If you've got only a little time each day to learn a language, and German is your language of choice, consider Olympia 1936. As the blog points out, it does not attempt to teach German grammar, but rather to simply build vocabularly. In addition, it shows the history of the 1936 Olympics, as written at the time. (Thus, there are no comments on them as "the Nazi Olympics" with all that that implies, but simply as historical documents - the Olympics taking place in 1936.)
