About this book

A complete A1 course for English-speaking adults who are starting German from zero and want to use it: at work, in shops and cafés, on the phone and with neighbours.

Every unit builds towards a few things you will be able to do in German, such as introducing yourself, ordering a coffee or asking for directions, and teaches the grammar you need for those tasks, no more. No audio is included: the dialogues are printed as scripts to read aloud, record or practise with a partner.

What you’ll learn

  • 26 units, four milestone reviews and a final review
  • Clear explanations in English, with examples a German speaker would actually say
  • Exercises, sentence building, speaking tasks and a short writing task in every unit
  • Real-Life German and Common Mistakes boxes, and an "I can…" self-check in each unit
  • A reference section, a German–English A–Z word list and a complete answer key

Who it’s for

Adult beginners who live or work in Germany, or are moving there, and self-study learners.
