Learning German With Stories And Pictures: Bert Das Buch: or: How the books learned to love the future

by André Klein

Learning German can be a lot of fun, but starting out by studying grammar is an almost guaranteed path to frustration. This is not to say that grammar is not necessary for learning German, it's certainly helpful as a compass, but it's impossible to master conversation and text-comprehension through mere "calculation" of cases and conjugations.Children all over the world are able to learn the most complex languages intuitively simply by listening and repeating. This book is an invitation to this more natural approach to language learning. While there are of course significant differences between the way adults and infants learn, everyone can benefit from the following materials, whether to brush up on former studies or as a first step in dealing with authentic materials.
