This reader is designed to help intermediate level learners of German become more fluent in the areas of reading, understanding and usage. Join the Schmidt family as they go about their daily lives in Munich and have experiences that range from the frightening to the amusing, from the mundane to the fascinating. The fourteen chapters cover a wide range of common vocabulary in various settings and will help the learner to interact with German native speakers. Vocabulary and common language functions are repeated many times to help reinforce the learning process. In each chapter you will find the original German text side by side with an English translation. The purpose of the translation is to help you better understand the German text, so the English version follows the German original closely. A FREE MP3 recording of all units is available at the author's website. Don't miss Intermediate German Reader 2 - Winter Wonderland by the same author.
What an exceptional book, I am already halfway through the second one in the series!
Most of the Billingual books I have found online are very badly written, with huge amounts of errors in both English and German.
I have now however found an author who writes Billingual books with no errors in German or English. His stories are so engaging that each time I read these books with native speakers we don't want to stop reading until the end of any particular story we are using for our language exchange; I simply love the stories!
