This helpful little
book introduces you to the 4,000 most frequently used German words.
Langenscheidt selected the list according to frequency in both spoken
and written German in all German-speaking countries. The list is
divided into two groups: a core of 2,000 basic words and an additional
group of 2,000 frequent words. If you learn all the vocabulary of
the book, you should have a solid knowledge of the most common words
used in either conversation or writing. Provided that you also study
the grammar of the language, you will have all the tools that enable
successful communication in German.
The words are divided into categories such as 'The Human Being,' 'Environment,'
'Travel and Traffic,' etc. You can learn anything from numbers to courtesy
formulas. Each word has its English translation(s) and you will also
find the gender of each noun, its genitive ending, and the plural form
in the nominative case. One or more examples show how to use the German
word in context. Pronunciation is shown using the International Phonetic
Alphabet and all the words are written using the new spelling introduced
by die deutsche Rechtschreibreform (the German spelling reform) in
1998.
|
The 'Basic German Vocabulary' also
has a companion workbook. You can use the
Vocabulary on its own either for reference or study. If you have
both books, however, you
can practice all 4,000 words in a more convenient way. This should
help you build vocabulary faster.

This is the companion
workbook for the Vocabulary above. If you want to
practice the vocabulary you learn in the other text, this workbook
is for
you. The exercises are varied and often illustrated by amusing
drawing. They are divided into the same categories as the Vocabulary
so that
you can practice the same terms or look up words in the right category
quickly. You will find the answers to the exercises at the back
of the book.
To use the workbook you will need a good grasp of the basics of the
German language. This is because the whole workbook is written in German,
including the instructions about how to do an exercise. The language
is fairly simple, although in the exercises some sentences may prove
challenging if you are at an early beginner level. In this case, you
may need a dictionary to look up some of the words.
As the Vocabulary, the workbook has been updated to show the new spelling
introduced in 1998 following die deutsche Rechtschreibreform (the German
spelling reform).

This text is aimed at
school students (up to first examination level), but can be of help
to anyone learning German and wanting to expand their vocabulary.
The table of contents at the beginning shows how the words have been
divided up. The units cover topics like 'Classroom language,' 'Food
and drink,' 'On holiday,' and so on. In each unit, there are subgroups
that list the words in columns: German on the left and the English
translation on the right. Each noun is introduced together with the
appropriate definite article (der, die, das) so that you can learn
the correct gender right away. The plural form of the nominative
case is also given, but there is no pronunciation guide. At the end
of each unit, you will find one or more activities to help you practice
the vocabulary you have just learned. The answers are at the back
of the book.
Please note that unfortunately there is no general index of the words
listed and the old German spelling is used. The old spelling will be
accepted until the end of the school year 2004/2005, but you should
make sure you look up the new spelling in an updated dictionary.
