Getting started with German 2

Everyday German in context

The course opens with a familiar setting, a breakfast table in a German-speaking country, and uses it to anchor new vocabulary. Starting from a scene rather than a word list gives the language a concrete frame, which helps the words stick.

The core skill

Expressing what you like and dislike is one of the first things a learner wants to say in any language. This course makes that its central goal, and the grammar it introduces is presented as a means to that end rather than as an abstract rule set.

Best for

• Learners who have finished an introductory German course and want more vocabulary.
• Anyone who wants to talk about preferences in everyday settings.
• Those who prefer context before grammar.
