Before going to the DeutschAkademie, studied German myself, with several books of grammar exercises, reading books like „Aladdin und die Wunderlampe“ (with only 4 or 5 pages) and a computer program. But you always have the doubt of whether I’m pronouncing it right or if they understand me when I stay alone „versus“ the Austrians.
So here is my recommendation!
Audio Course German for Starters
It’s a great choice, because while you hear a story, they repeat and translate the most difficult parts.
The audio course that I’m working with now, begins with an introduction to a story, later reviews the specific vocabulary of the topic BEFORE continuing with the dialogue. Thus you review the new vocabulary when you are already acquainted with it.
Now begins the part of grammar explained in English, with examples from history and other new examples. Finally some exercises containing the explained grammar.
As it’s recorded you can listen it while doing other tasks or while going to academy or work. For me it is a great help to learn German.
Hi Sandra! I have read your comment! And I would like to ask you something.. Probably soon, I am going to Austria to work there and maybe I am going to Viena.. So I wanted to ask you about the language there..
Can you really learn German there or the language is completly different?
I am going there to learn and improve German.. So I would really appreciate if you can inform me about it :))
Thank uuuu!
Hi Rut! Here we learn German, not the Viennese dialect.
Certainly there are different words between german from Germany and german from Austria, but in the class always tell us, this is how we say this word in Germany and this is how we say it in Austria, but there aren't so many different words!
Danke schön Sandra! :))
