Place Names in Foreign Language Teaching

Schmidt, Hugo

Unterrichtspraxis, 11, 1, 57-62, Spr 78

Students find place names--and their origins--interesting. A number of German examples are given, ranging from the Familiar Koeln (Colonia) and Koblenz (Confluentes) to the less familiar Wien ( Celtic vindos, "white water") and Weimar (wihmari, sacred swamp). (WGA)
