With just thirty minutes of relaxed study each day, you can acquire

German in the same way that you learned your own language: by

natural assimilation.

The Assimil method consists of two phases:

- The passive phase (the first few weeks) during which you simply read

and take in the dialogue and explanations;

- The active phase , which occurs halfway through the book, when

you begin to generate your own sentences and to communicate

spontaneously in a variety of everyday situations.

After just two months' study, you'll already begin to feel at ease. And

in about five months' time, working from a solid base, you'll be ready

to hold conversations in real-life contexts using vocabulary that is

practical, authentic and contemporary.

This edition of our highly successful course has been entirely revised

and updated to reflect changes in German language and society over

the past decade.

So why not join millions of other learners and study German the Assimil

way... with ease!
