Let's Learn English: Bob and Jane


This is a 2 part 1966 English course for schools (6 graders) by German publisher Crüwell with books, vinyl, audio tapes, 13 drill tapes for language labs and sheets. Sheets in 1974. The 7" record singles running at 33 rpm and have a light green cover. 2 records for each part, so 4 in total. I think some more for teachers.

Book authors are Hans Franzen, Helmut Heuer, Hilde Krüger and Clemens Radau. Illustrations (full page in color) by Ekkehard Geister. I think the plot is about adventures/everyday's situtations of Bob and Jane, probably siblings, like at a zoo.

"Let's Learn English" is a 5 part school book series. Parts 1+2 are Bob and Jane I+II, part 3 is "Welcome to London" with an additional reader "The Bridge" by Stephen Speight. Part 4 is "Welcome to Britain - Welcome to America" with readers The Bridge + The Matchbox. Part 5 is "Advanced Course" with readers The Bridge, The Matchbox and "You" also co-authored by Speight.

I found some samples of the books, but haven't heard the audios. So not sure if spoken by grown-ups or kids.
