Overview

"Improve your German and expand your vocabulary with topics that matter. When it comes to mastering a foreign language, reading around your interests makes all the difference. But finding books designed for language learners can be hard! This book fixes that. For the first time, you'll learn to improve your German while reading about one of the most important topics of the century: climate change. Told through authentic conversations in intermediate German, you'll become confident in the words, phrases and expressions you need to speak about the topics you care about. ""Climate Change in Simple German"" transports you into a real-world story that unfolds between three German characters. The story, told by the people themselves, focuses on climate change and their effort to learn more about it! With over 30 engaging and informative chapters, you'll immerse yourself in the topic of Climate Change and master German in the process. Here's what you'll get: 1. 34 chapters in conversational German, so you can learn about climate change the fun way; 2. Helpful key facts at the end of each chapter to help guide you through the science; 3. Real, daily spoken German throughout - it's as if we held up a microphone and recorded the exact words coming out of people's mouths - so you can learn natural German; 4. Conversations that are carefully written to be accessible for intermediate learners (CEFR B1-B2), so you can learn from real, spoken conversations; 5. Word lists with English definitions in every chapter, so you can get instant translations of any difficult words. This means you can focus on enjoying the story rather than wasting time in a dictionary (eBook & paperback only); 6. Summaries of each conversation which contextualise each dialogue, so you can easily follow the plot and enjoy the story without getting lost. The story is told in standardised German, so you'll have plenty to learn, whether you're learning the German of Switzerland, Germany, or Austria. Created by Olly Richards, language teacher and author, ""Climate Change in Simple German"" gives you an experience in real German that you won't find anywhere else. You'll be better prepared for using German in the real world, speak with more confidence, and take a giant leap towards fluency in German!"
