Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Kristine K. Kershul is passionate about languages. She blends her experience as a teacher, world traveler and language scholar to create a playful, innovative way to help you learn a new language.

Her products reflect her philosophy, "Anyone can learn a foreign language. It doesn't have to be difficult and it doesn't have to take you years. It's enjoyable and fits easily into your daily routine." The 10 minutes a day® Series is designed to bring the magic of learning a new language to everyone.

Teacher ...

As an expert linguist, Kristine spent ten years teaching German at universities in the United States and Europe. Her years in the classroom taught her that most students were learning the language for personal enrichment, but the traditional academic methods were not meeting their needs. From this experience, Kristine developed the innovative teaching method you'll find in the 10 minutes a day® Series.

World Traveler ...

An adventurous spirit, Kristine has explored more than 100 countries, from Argentina to Zimbabwe, and almost every exotic locale in between. She understands the problems you'll encounter as a traveler, regardless of which country you're visiting. She knows first-hand how languages can open doors to new adventures, new friends and different cultures.

Language Scholar ...

Kristine completed her undergraduate and graduate studies while living in Heidelberg, Germany. She then received a second Master's Degree from the University of California in Santa Barbara and subsequently, did her Doctoral studies in Medieval German Languages and Literature.

With Kristine's fluency, it's no surprise to hear her conducting business in German, but you'll also hear her on the phone speaking French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic or Hebrew.

A Colorful Background ...

Kristine's fascination for languages began as a child growing up in a tri-lingual household in Oregon, where Croatian, Danish and English were spoken.

Her natural gift for languages opened doors outside the academic world. She worked as a bilingual travel guide in Europe and later, as a translator at the U.S. Embassy in Germany, before returning to the United States.

Bilingual Books ...

Based on the success of her first book, GERMAN in 10 minutes a day®, Kristine founded Bilingual Books in 1981. Over thirty years later, her company is the leader in foreign language publishing, offering you more than 40 titles in 20 languages. Kristine's commitment to a high standard of quality by frequently updating, fine-tuning, and reviewing all titles has led to the trademark success of Bilingual Books.

On A Personal Note ...

Kristine's passion for travel, foreign languages and new cultures continues to take her around the world. You never know where she'll venture to next - Namibia, Laos, Bhutan, or Madagascar. Kristine is a licensed pilot, a certified diver and an avid downhill skier. She enjoys competitive horseback riding and playing the piano. She makes her home in both Seattle, Washington and in Cape Town, South Africa.

    ... and an other essential tool to dive into Italian. Which, by the way, will be more helpful if You have yet developed "an ear" for the pronunciation of this Roman language.
    Even if You will dive not too deep, the Italians appreciate always the efforts a visitor makes to enter in this most important part of their culture!

    Word by word, separated for the right context, there they are:
    Meeting People
    Asking Questions
    Money
    Numbers
    Mail
    Telephone
    Dining Out
    Calender
    Time
    Shopping
    Dining out
    Life's little Emergencies
    Sightseeing and Museums
    Transportation
    Hotels and Room Service

    A very nice touch are the illustrations, based on the real Italian culture, and the first 1000 numbers above and below the text.
    The format is right to be hidden in any menu - when You eat out with local folks...:)
    Take this map with You on Your first voyage to Ialy, read it on Your flight there and You will see, this little bit of knowledge of the language will make a lot of a difference to the people You meet!
    Believe me, I have found it out by myself...
    And then - if You buy some more and taken them there - it is an always very appreciated gift for special occasions - and not only for children or adolescents.

    I love these language maps and have them for Chinese, Japanese, French, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Greek, Vietnamese, Arabic - and there are editions for several Indian languages, Swahili, Hebrew, Polish, Norwegian, Italian, and German, too.
    For almost every trip there is a language map. Try them out - You won't regret it!

    Great chest sheet. Love how it phonetically spells out the words. I also think the plastic coating will enable the user to get many opportunities to use it without something spilling or the map tearing!
