101 Conversations in Simple German [ PDF ]

 

Introduction

If you’ve ever tried speaking German with a stranger, chances are it wasn’t easy! You might have
felt tongue-tied when you tried to recall words or verb conjugations. You might have struggled
to keep up with the conversation, with German words flying at you at 100mph. Indeed, many
students report feeling so overwhelmed with the experience of speaking German in the real world
that they struggle to maintain motivation. The problem lies with the way German is usually taught.
Textbooks and language classes break German down into rules and other “nuggets” of information in
order to make it easier to learn. But that can leave you with a bit of a shock when you come to
actually speak German out in the real world: “People don’t speak like they do in my textbooks!”
That’s why I wrote this book.
101 Conversations in Simple German prepares you to speak German in the real world. Unlike the
contrived and unnatural dialogues in your textbook, the 101 authentic conversations in this book
offer you simple but authentic spoken German that you can study away from the pressure of
face-to-face conversation. The conversations in this book tell the story of six people in Madrid.
You’ll experience the story by following the conversations the characters have with one another.
Written entirely in spoken German, the conversations give you the authentic experience of reading
real German in a format that is convenient and accessible for a beginner (A2 on the Common European
Framework of Reference).

The extensive, story-based format of the book helps you get used to spoken German in a natural way,
with the words and phrases you see gradually emerging in your own spoken German as you learn them
naturally through your reading. The book is packed with engaging learning material including short
dialogues that you can finish in one sitting, helpful English definitions of difficult words,
scene-setting introductions to each chapter to help you follow along, and a story that will have
you gripped until the end. These learning features allow you to learn and absorb new words and
phrases, and
then activate them so that, over time, you can remember and use them in

your own spoken German. You’ll never find another way to get so much
practice with real, spoken German!

Suitable for beginners and intermediate learners alike, 101 Conversations in Simple German is the
perfect complement to any German course and will give you the ultimate head start for using German
confidently in the real world! Whether you’re new to German and looking for an entertaining
challenge, or you have been learning for a while and want to take your speaking to the next level,
this book is the biggest step forward you will take in your German this year.
If you’re ready, let’s get started!
