Publisher's summary
For low - to high-intermediate learners.
Improve your German and expand your vocabulary with topics that matter.
When it comes to mastering a foreign language, listening around your interests makes all the difference. But finding audiobooks designed for language learners can be hard! This audiobook fixes that. For the first time, you’ll learn to improve your German while listening about the history of World War II.
Told through short, manageable sections in intermediate German, you’ll become confident in the words, phrases, and expressions you need to speak about the topics you care about.
World War II in Simple German gives you all that you can wish for from a real history book without the tough academic terminology which may be difficult for intermediate learners.

Over 40 engaging and informative sections, you’ll immerse yourself in the history of WWII and master German in the process.
Here’s what you’ll get:
- Forty-seven chapters in simple German, so you can learn about WWII without the struggle of listening to an academic text
- Helpful key facts at the beginning of each section to help guide you through
- Sections that are carefully written to be accessible for intermediate learners (CEFR B1-B2), so you can read purposively, at your level
- Fun-facts at the end of each section, so that you can dazzle your friends with interesting facts about the WWII period
The section are written in neutral German, so you’ll have plenty to learn, whether you’re learning the German of Germany, Austria, or Switzerland.
Created by Olly Richards, language teacher and author, World War II in Simple German gives you an experience in real German that you won’t find anywhere else. You’ll be better prepared for using German in the real world, speak with more confidence, and take a giant leap towards fluency in German!

Following the events of Schlamassel in Stuttgart, Dino travels to Liechtenstein to join a coveted workshop, when a global pandemic shutters all entries and exits to the Alpine monarchy. Stranded in an old castle not far from the capital, he is left to his own devices, grappling with the double whammy of isolation and monotony. Under the tutelage of an eccentric company, he’s initiated into the subtle arts of alpine cooking, motorcycle maintenance, and other coping strategies for uncertain times. But not everyone shares his enthusiasm.

Der Roman spielt im 6. Jahrhundert vor Christus in Indien und handelt von einem jungen Brahmanen namens Siddhartha und seinem Freund Govinda. Von seinem Vater und anderen Priestern lernt dieser über die Veden, deren philosophische Gedanken, religiöse Gebote und Anleitungen zu Gebeten und Ritualen.

Is conversational German turning a little too tricky for you? Do you have no idea how to order a meal or book a room at a hotel? If your answer to any of the previous questions was yes, then this book is for you! If there’s even been something tougher than learning the grammar rules of a new language, it’s finding the way to speak with other people in that tongue. Any student knows this - we can try our best at practicing, but you always want to avoid making embarrassing mistakes or not getting your message through correctly.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

Story
The Roman Republic is one of the most breathtaking civilizations in world history. Between roughly 500 BCE to the turn of the millennium, a modest city-state developed an innovative system of government and expanded into far-flung territories across Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle East. This powerful civilization inspired America's founding fathers, gifted us a blueprint for amazing engineering innovations, left a vital trove of myths, and has inspired the human imagination for 2,000 years.

Is conversational German turning a little too tricky for you? Do you have no idea how to order a meal or book a room at a hotel? If your answer to any of the previous questions was yes, then this book is for you! If there’s even been something tougher than learning the grammar rules of a new language, it’s finding the way to speak with other people in that tongue. Any student knows this - we can try our best at practicing, but you always want to avoid making embarrassing mistakes or not getting your message through correctly.
