About this listen
The 1000 essential words in German. One of the major languages of the world, German is the first language of almost 100 million people worldwide and the most widely spoken native language in the European Union.
How to learn a language differently? Today, language learning is revolutionizing : you do not have to go to traditional language classes anymore. Our learning method : a selection of hundreds of phrases and essential words. You listen to them, you repeat them, and you speak. We rely on pronunciation, oral rehearsal, listening, combined with words, essential phrases, and a vocabulary list. 20% of the words are used 80% of the time. The end goal is to get a sufficient level in one language to be able to hold simple conversations, to be able to understand simple exchanges, deal with everyday life and start exploring the new culture that opens up to you.
Please note : this audiobook is in English.

How to waste time
Advertised as a collection of essential words im German, the book provides words in English with a translation in German.
The words are provided without a logical connection, so it is difficult to memorize them at first glance.
The verbs in English are not provided with the “to”, so once you hear “face” or “miss”, you must wait for the German version to understand if it was the name, the infinite verb or an order. “Come” was introduced as “kommen Sie”, the order, not as “kommen” the infinite verb.
The names in German are not provided with the article, so you must refer to a proper dictionary to check the gender.
Then there are some errors: “there” and “here” are translated with the same “hier”; “where” as “wo hier” which is more “where from”. These in the first 15 minutes.
I thrust the voices to come from actual person, but they might be digitalized with no loss in the result. To underline when the word was in English, the voice came with a metallic echo.
Then the opening and the ending of the book are in French.
I listened to the whole first chapter, then some snippet of the second before declaring it a waste of time.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
