Dear Sir:

My name is Jenn and I work at the Center for PG Studies (Millersville University). Professor C. Richard Beam asked me to email you as to what we do. I'm a recent graduate of Millersville Univ. I, along with some other students, am proofreading and editing the Comprehensive Pennsylvania German Dictionary. I am currently working on Volume Five. We are very serious about the work we do with the dialect. We do not have time to "chit-chat."

I looked at several parts of your website. How much knowledge do you have of the Standard German language and its grammar? How comfortable are you in the use of the Pennsylvania German dialect and its grammar?

As I stated before, we are very serious about our study of the dialect. I would like to tell you about some recent publications. If you go to www.masthof.com , you can order the first three volumes of our Comprehensive Pennsylvania German Dictionary. Volume Four should be available for purchase within the next two months. There is also a Pennsylvania Dutch Cassette Tape: An Introduction to the Pennsylvania Dutch Dialect by C. Richard Beam. This can be purchased from
