One can learn enough German in 12 weeks to get by.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Little German Notebook: A Breakthrough in Early Speaking (Hardcover)
For those of you with German on your schedules, this unique book presents a breakthrough technique for learning to speak German quickly. The author, a national think tank consultant, introduces a brand new way of learning languages in only 12 weeks! The interesting aspect of the technique is that it builds upon the language knowledge we already have. Using the technique, a novice can mentally identify up to 3,000 English cognate words and mentally transform them into correct German words --- without a dictionary or memorization. German grammar in The Little German Notebook has been greatly simplified through a series of innovative techniques, tips and short-cuts. Sentences in early speaking are largely constructed with transformed English words; however, a few key native German words must be learned and added to complete the sentences. Simple tips are also provided for multiplying one's basic vocabulary into many thousands of additional German words. The 40 beautiful German photos alone are worth getting the book. It could be used as a 12-week introductory course, or as a study aid for accelerating learning, or as a self-teaching tool. I believe that, if I studied diligently for the required 12 weeks, I could learn enough German to get by. The accent, well that's another story. Think anyone would believe I'm from South Germany? |
