Excellent, I've just acquired Schenke and will incorporate it into my studying, danke!

The Cornelsen book sounds perfect! Pencil to paper reinforcement is key for my learning style so 'graduating' to that once I wrap my head around A1 makes a lot of sense. I'll digitally 'acquire' that one as well and put my recently refurbished, 10+ year old Rotring pencil to work on the blank medium Leuchtturm 'journal' I never started. (Can you tell I have an appreciation for German craftsmanship and engineering?)

I've been taking steps towards leaving America to work and/or study abroad. Learning a new language, especially via self-directed study, has been a very intimidating step. These resources will go a long way in helping me tackle it. I very much appreciate your guidance.
