Beginner's German - Rosi McNab

'Teach Yourself Beginner's German' is the right course for you if you really want to learn German but are daunted by the prospect of complicated grammar, classes and coursebooks. This book starts right from the beginning and explains everything in simple English. There are hints throughout to make learning easy and you can learn at your own pace with plenty of practice of each new point. It is a friendly introduction to the language which will help you to understand and speak German sufficiently well to function effectively in basic everyday situations, both social and business. The course will also offer you an insight into German culture.



The book consists of 20 graded units introducing you to the basic structures and grammatical points you'll need in everyday situations, such as booking into a hotel, shopping, eating and travelling. New language is introduced through short dialogues and texts which are also on the accompanying recording and there are plenty of exercises to practise each new point as it is introduced. There is a special section on pronunciation at the beginning of the book to get you started and a revision section at the end of the first ten units so that you can check your progress and review any areas of difficulty. Unit 11 is a reference unit on German verbs and contains information you will need to help you with the second half of the course. By the end of the course you'll be able to communicate in a wide range of real-life situations and have all the practical information you need to enjoy your next trip to Germany.



Two accompanying cassettes or CDs are available separately or in a pack with the book.
