Overview

Improve your spoken German from home with 101 real-world conversations in simple, everyday German. Real German people don't speak like your textbook... so it's no wonder you feel unprepared when it's your turn to speak! This book fixes that. For the first time, you'll learn to speak German in the REAL world, with 101 authentic conversations in simple, spoken German, so you can become confident in the words, phrases and expressions you need to communicate like a local. You'll be transported into a real-world story that unfolds between six German characters, told by the people themselves in 101 authentic conversations. With over 15,000 words of real German, you'll immerse yourself in a gripping German drama and get an education in natural German in the process. In this story, two friends, Silke and Julia, arrive in Berlin for what they think will be a relaxing vacation exploring the city. Things, however, take an unexpected turn when they discover some vary valuable paintings in one of Berlin's antique markets . . . Here's what you'll get: 1. 101 conversations in simple German, so you can learn the real German spoken in the street, understand spoken German with ease, and have German roll off your tongue more fluently; 2. Over 15,000 words of dialogue - an unparalleled resource that will immerse you in German, at a level you can understand, so you can learn real spoken German without getting lost or overwhelmed; 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 the expressions that real people use on the street (not in textbooks). You'll sound more authentic when you speak and make German-speaking friends more easily; 4. Situational dialogues from typical daily circumstances, so you'll prepare yourself to survive realistic German encounters, in shops and cafes, and make meeting people and making arrangements second nature; 5.Conversations that are carefully written to be accessible for beginners (A2-B1 on the CEFR), so you can start to learn from real, spoken conversations, even as a beginner, without having to go through the rollercoaster of difficult conversations with strangers; 6.Each conversation is limited to around 15 lines of dialogue (150 words), so you can get that crucial sense of achievement and motivation when you finish each conversation, and say I actually understood all of that! 7.Word lists with English definitions in every chapter, so you can get instant translations of any difficult words and focus on reading and enjoying the stories rather than wasting time in a dictionary (eBook & Paperback only); 8.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 set in Berlin and includes expressions that are typical in neutral German. This way, you'll have plenty to learn, whether you're learning the German spoken in Germany, Austria, Switzerland or any other German-speaking community. Created by Olly Richards, internationally-renowned language teacher and author, 101 Conversations in Simple German gives you an education 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!
