About the translators for this page:

Franziska and Eva Lang (eleven and twelve years old) are the two young daughters of friends who live in Germany. They first became acquainted with my website a few years ago and were fascinated by the whole process. During our 2006 visit the girls helped me design several new items for the website and for their English classes at school. Their father, a neurosurgeon, has been proofreading the translated text and I appreciate the time that it takes. The girls are enjoying this academic endeavor and look forward to sharing it with the teachers at their respective schools. This summer, while we were vacationing with them in France, Eva translated 59 books into German and Franziska made quite a dent in her list as well! Thank you, Eva and Franziska (and Dad and Mom for supporting them in their efforts)! Working with two languages has been good for the girls. As a matter of fact, last spring Eva tested in the top 6% in English in Germany. Way to go, girl!
