Traveling is one of the most popular pastimes in the world. It is always an adventure to explore new places and meet new people, but it adds a whole new dimension to the experience if you can communicate with your new friends (at least a little) in their own language. Not to mention that it will be incredibly helpful in reading signs and menus, asking for prices, directions, help, or introducing yourself.

This book will give you a basic foundation in the German language; it includes pronunciations, sentence structures, and a rudimentary vocabulary to enable you to begin speaking with the people you meet. You will become familiar with nouns, gender, and case and how to apply them to articles, pronouns, adjectives, and sentences.

Some of the phrases that'll be covered:

• Days of the Week
• Months
• Time
• Getting to Know You...
• Small Talk
• Shopping
• Getting Around
• Lodging & Hotels
• Eating Out
• Emergencies
• Holiday Greetings
• And so much more...

There will be also a discussion on the most common tenses in German (present, past, perfect, and past perfect) and their similarities and differences from English. By the time you are done with this book, you will understand how to conjugate verbs, determine case and tenses, and put together sentences and questions.

All you will need at that point will be a dedication to learning the vocabulary necessary to practice your new skills and make them second nature...
