German

by Sylvia Goulding

A travel phrasebook for anyone planning on visiting a German-speaking country, with an included CD so you can listen for the correct pronunciations. The book includes all the essential words and phrases for every traveler. Even experienced speakers will benefit from the detailed local knowledge, and first-time speakers will find it easy to pick up the key words and phrases they need to get by.

Part of the DK Eyewitness Travel Guides Phrase Book series. These pocket dictionaries give business and vacation travelers everything they need for a smooth, successful trip. Organized by subject, they help the traveler quickly find the vocabulary relevant to any situation, whether transportation, hotels, meals, shopping, post offices and banks, sports, or health care, and the phrasebook and glossary are accompanied by a pronunciation guide. At the end of each guide book is a 2,000-word mini-dictionary. 
 
Fully updated from the original editions to reflect currency changes such as the Euro and new vocabulary such as e-tickets.

My German is so rusty that I picked this up to help me out. I'm trying not to embarrass myself, but that seems unavoidable. Seems easy to use with pronunciation guides and a good dictionary. Ich hatte gern ein Bier! That should be the most useful phrase

After intense Deutch Kurs book or grammar exercise this book felt like a dessert to me 🍮
Light, simple, pretty informative

I think this is one of the most interesting conversational German books available.

And when you have 10 pages per week, I think they maintained a very interesting balance for presentation and content, with some of the nicest graphic design i've seen.

I've enjoyed the DK Eyewitness books for learning all about a country [The book on France is my favorite, where you learn exquisite history, and have a sense of actually knowing things well enough like you'd almost been there] and this book is tied with that one for being my fave Eyewitness Travel books.

If you can't find the Pimsleur disks of 90 lessons on CD or the Michel Thomas series of 15 Disks for French/German/Italian, get the DK Eyewitness books.

Ideally all three, for the least frustrating route of learning a language.

У цьому заклику головна цінність книги ...
Я міг би висловити певні критичні зауваження щодо її методології, однак для мене вона виконала свою функцію: повторення правил, пригадування слів і, як бонус, корисні фрази для подорожі Німеччиною ...

15 хвилин на день – це начебто мало, але більше я виділити не міг, тому такий проміжок часу є однозначно кращим, ніж нічого... Це реально допомагає і привчає щоденно займатися мовою, тобто рухатися у заданому напрямку хоча б дрібними кроками...
