Summary: Great book on Gothic Tongue
Comment: The best book I've seen on Gothic. Layman friendly. These folks also sell Asatru rituals in West Goth and Old English.
This is the only book on Gothic I know of that is aimed at normal people and not PHds. This book belongs in the library of every student of the Old Ways. Wyatt Kaldenberg

Rating: 5
Summary: One of the most exciting languages I've picked up
Comment: This is a highly praise worthy book. A good knowledge of Old English is helpful when tackling Gothic but not completely necessary since the book covers most of what you need to know. It's too bad no one speaks Gothic, or any east Germanic dialct anymore it would be interesting to see how the language modernized.

Rating: 5
Summary: The easiest introduction I have seen.
Comment: While most Gothic language introductions and grammars assume a very thorough knowledge of Germanic comparative linguistics, this one actually defines most of the technical terms it uses. Has a good explanation of the rules and even some exercises (no answers, though). Seems adequate for classroom or self- study. Texts in Gothic are used from the very beginning (some original, some from ancient sources). Above all, the way the rules are presented and the choice of readings make this book a FUN learning experience.
