A New Guide To Reading German, 2e

by Marianne Eiselt

Captus Press | January 1, 2006 | Mass Market Paperbound

A New Guide to Reading German teaches a basic knowledge of the written German language while fostering cultural understanding. This book is specifically designed to enable English-speaking learners to read German texts on various topics with the aid of a dictionary. In addition to essential pronunciation guidelines, Chapter One charts an overview of the many commonalities between the two languages-including a list of easily recognizable words that underwent soundshifts (apple-Apfel, ship-Schiff), loanwords from English (Hobby, Star, Trend), and internationalisms (Analyse, Computer, Produktivität)-and provides a solid foundation for further study. To help conceptualize grammatical intricacies, each chapter offers a clear, comparative presentation of the subject matter, by providing side-by-side examples in both English and German. Exercises and readings appear at the end of each section, giving readers ample opportunities to implement and practise what they have just learned.

A New Guide to Reading German is ideal for learning to translate at both the general and academic level. Comprehensive, engaging and motivating, this book requires no prior knowledge of German.
