    We broke our new series on learning Korean down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Korean. 
    In Unit 1 you will hear Korean decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Korean speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Korean. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Korean at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Korean, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with. 
    Topics covered in this book: 
    1. Asking about family 
    2. Asking about relationship status 
    3. Expressing frequency 
    4. Talking about spare time activities and hobbies 
    5. Using quantifiers/determiners

    Thank you for your interest in the German for Beginners audiocourse by Audioacademyeu. The course is designed for  absolute and "false" beginners. So if you started learning German some time ago and now want to brush up on the basics, this is the right audiocourse for you.The course is based on contextual learning, which means that you will not only learn words, but also sentences in which you can use the words you have learned. In this course you will find a total of 2,500 vocabulary words and practice sentences.What is the best way to work with the course? Choose the lesson you want to start with. Each lesson contains six tracks. First,  familiarize yourself with the actual vocabulary (tracks 1 and 2). In order to get a better grip over the new expressions  in German, in track one you hear the  German word twice.Next, you have a  word followed by a contextual sentence, again in both translation options (tracks 3 and 4).  Then you move on to complete sentences (tracks 5 and 6). ). Again, in track 5, you will hear the sentence in German twice. Once you have mastered translating sentences from English into German (lesson 6) in the time gap before the english translation, you have won. The words alone will help you in understanding the meaning, but using the mastered complete sentences will help you communicate much better.There is a script to this course available for free download at www.audioacademyeu.eu which will make your activities with the course much more effective. In its  introduction, you will find a learning guide along with helpful tips on how to make the lessons more effective and a lesson plan for you to record your learning progress. The script is divided thematically into three parts.  In the first part you will find a written version of the audio tracks you will listen to.  In the second part you will find the writing tests. For each lesson there is one test of vocabulary and one test of sentences. The key to both tests is available right after the tests too In the third part of the script you will find double-sided flashcards that you can cut out with scissors and practice even when you can't or don't want to listen. The course is narrated by native speakers - Jeff Short in English and Jorg Hochfeld and Anja Flaume  in German.Lesson 001 LivingLesson 002 TravellingLesson 003 TimeLesson 004 NumbersLesson 005 Hotel, restaurantLesson 006_FoodLesson 007 Communication 1Lesson 008 Communication2Lesson 009 CityLesson 010 ShoppingLesson 011 GreetingsLesson 012 Work 01Lesson 013 Work 02Lesson 014 NatureLesson 015 FamilyLesson 016 CommunityLesson 017 CharacteristicsLesson 018 LeisureLesson 019 Phrases
