Learn German for Your Holidays: 30 Bite-sized Tasks for Your First Trip Angelika Davey

Publisher Marketing: Are you going to Germany soon but you don't speak any German? Would you like to learn the basics but don't have much time? Then this book is perfect for you! You will learn enough German to get around in 30 bite-sized tasks which take no longer than about 5 to 15 minutes each. The idea is to do one task every day but it is up to you how fast or slow you work. At the end, however, you will be equipped with enough German to have a great holiday. The 30 tasks cover: - Greeting people - My name is - I come from... - I live in ... - Four little words - Do you speak English? - Sorry! - Days of the week - Numbers from 0 - 10 - Celebrate your progress, part 1 - Where is...? - Directions - Ordering drinks - Ordering food - I'm allergic! - Numbers from 11- 20 - Numbers from 21 - 100 - What's the time? - How much does it cost? - Celebrate your progress, part 2 - Buying clothes - Colours - Buying train tickets - Body part and illnesses - Buying medicines - Booking a hotel room - At the restaurant - Saying goodbye - Celebrate your progress, part 3 - Where do you go from here? Nearly every task is accompanied by an online video (also downloadable), so that you can hear and practise how to pronounce the words or sentences. A few videos also have listening exercises.
