Hi cweb255!

I used Joseph Wright's "Grammar of the Gothic Language" and also
Braune/Helm "Gotische Grammatik".  Here's my own page of links I've
found useful:

For the basic grammatical paradigms you should ckeck out Matthew
Carver's The Gotish Tongue Website:

http://www.stormloader.com/carver/gutrazda

There is an online digital facsimile edition of
Streitberg's "Gotisches Elementarbuch" at:

http://www.wulfila.be/lib/streitberg/1920/

David Salo has made a series of Gothic lessons for beginners:

There is also a slightly more complete German version of these
lessons:

http://www.gotisch.de/

Reimar's Gothic Links (Gotische Verweise) is a good place to look too
and contains a handy book list:

Hope that helps.  Good luck leraning Gothic!
