Hails, Inge

For my part, I read the books on the subject. When reading Gothic, I
read aloud so as to get a feel for the sound, rhythm. Doing a few
translation projects and reading the Gothic corpus will allow one to
familiarize oneself with the vocabulary, grammar and syntax to such an
extent that the basic language is at hand. Also, it is helpful to have
the vocabulary in database form so that one can look up the word one
doesn't know or translate a word from English.
