A note on the informal/formal in German
German has two ways of saying 'you': One is informal and the other is formal. For this book, we're sticking with the informal form, because honestly, that's the form you'll use most when you're casually chatting with people your age.
Differences From a Classic Teach Yourself Course
- It focuses on speaking, hence the subtitle "A Conversation Course"
- It's highly interactive
- It empowers the learner to actually do something with the language
- The knowledge is more concentrated.
