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. The story does not focus only on the main events of the conflict, but rather it includes the less-known aspects of WWII from the famous battlefields to the social aspects of life between 1939 to 1946 to the international German-speaking stage.

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!
