I will review the progress of VLT spectroscopy of large numbers of individual
stars in nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxies. This spectroscopy has allowed us to
obtain detailed insights into the chemical and dynamical properties of the
resolved stellar population in these nearby systems.Comment: 8pages, 6 figures. Invited talk to appear in the proceedings of the
IAUC198 Coll. "Near-Field Cosmology with Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies", H.
