What You’ll Learn
Builds upon skills taught in Pimsleur’s German Level 1.

With this newest edition of German, we reflect the general trend toward casual interaction and have updated vocabulary and structures. What you're earning is neither stilted textbook German, nor street German, but rather everyday German as spoken in Germany.

In the first 10 lessons, you’ll begin using the past tense. Structures become more complex. Soon you’ll participate in conversations about ordering meals, shopping, and local tourist attractions. As you progress, your fluency will increase as your vocabulary expands.

The next 10 lessons will allow you to further combine and build upon known elements, and produce longer and more complex sentences. You’ll be discussing business and social activities, expressing your interests, and talking about the weather.

In the final 10 lessons you’ll double your vocabulary and have several hundred structures to draw upon. You’ll learn to express yourself with relative structures – faster, slower, etc. You’ll be able to ask for assistance in many situations and to ask for directions to various locations. You’ll explore sports and leisure activities, manage changing money and banking, and discuss travel plans. By the end of the program, you’ll be speaking at a mid-intermediate level with near-native pronunciation, and you’ll be comfortable meeting most social demands and limited job requirements.

Whether you want to travel, communicate with friends or colleagues, reconnect with family, or just understand more of what’s going on in the world around you, Pimsleur will help you learn German, expand your horizons, and enrich your life.
