Tired of boring textbooks and apps that don't make sense? Step into the shoes of Dino, explore 4 cities in 4 different countries and learn German—the way it's actually spoken—along the way!
This collector's edition comprises episodes 5-8 of the Dino lernt Deutsch German learning series for beginners: Ahoi aus Hamburg, Plötzlich in Palermo, Walzer in Wien and Zurück in Zürich.
With a fistful of German learning experiences under his belt Dino follows his heart's desire, visits friends and family back in his home country only to delve right back into the beautiful and bewildering world of Switzerland and Austria where German suddenly seems like a completely foreign language again.
Follow Dino on his adventures through four different European countries, immerse yourself in North Sea breezes, a Sicilian wedding, Viennese coffee culture, Swiss mountain air, and improve your German effortlessly along the way!
Learning German Doesn't Have To Be A Chore
Just got started on your German learning journey? Memorized a few words but struggle with longer texts? We've all been there. This book is designed to help beginners make the leap from studying isolated words and phrases to reading (and enjoying!) authentic German fiction.
Using simplified sentence structures and a very basic vocabulary, this story series is carefully crafted to allow even novice learners to boost their confidence and speed up their German learning journey.
Each chapter comes with a complete German-English dictionary, with a special emphasis on collocative phrases (high frequency word combinations), short sentences and expressions.
