Do you know what the hardest thing for a German learner is? Finding proper reading material that they can handle…which is precisely the reason we’ve written this book! Teachers love giving out tough, expert-level literature to their students, books that present many new problems to the reader and force them to search for words in a dictionary every five minutes - it’s not entertaining, useful or motivating for the student at all, and many soon give up on learning at all!

Is conversational German turning a little too tricky for you? Do you have no idea how to order a meal or book a room at a hotel? If your answer to any of the previous questions was yes, then this book is for you! If there’s even been something tougher than learning the grammar rules of a new language, it’s finding the way to speak with other people in that tongue. Any student knows this - we can try our best at practicing, but you always want to avoid making embarrassing mistakes or not getting your message through correctly.

This German course trains with the Guided Imitation Method, a Foreign Service Institute (FSI) technique for learning languages. The approach guides you to imitate native speakers using oral drills. You hear, understand, and respond in the foreign language.
Summary
If you want to learn German in less time while also enjoying yourself, then pay attention....
How can you learn to write well?
How can you expand your vocabulary?
How can you improve your ability to express your thoughts and ideas?
How can you improve your German language skills in a pleasant and varied way?
One reasonable way exists without a doubt: Read as much as possible! For this reason, we warmly recommend that you read novels or texts in German, if you want to learn more words and improve your verbal or written expression.
Many people think that you have to have a very high level of language skills to read a book in another language - but that assumption is completely wrong! A small amount of words can be enough to understand a text as a whole. From the very beginning of learning a new language, you can devote yourself to reading stories in German.
This audiobook is a very worthwhile and effective way to learn German. Your vocabulary will be refreshed immediately, and you will be able to practice. You will hear sentence by sentence in German with a translation along with each paragraph or sentence - no need to look up unknown words! Through the audiobook, you learn how to understand everything!
This audiobook is recommended for beginners and advanced students who want to continue and expand their knowledge. Learning German with our short stories is so easy and enjoyable that brave beginners without prior knowledge can easily use this method. Our short stories are so interesting and unique, that you will enjoy every bit of it and ask for more!
So if you want to learn German while having fun, listen to this audiobook!
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
