      I really want to say "thank you" to you. This is a very interesting book and you are one of the best.

    • 5/5
      I received a Mobi.file copy of this book a while back from the publisher through a giveaway they had on LibraryThing and the following is my honest opinion.During my college days about 45 years I had Sociology as my major for which I’d received my BA and for my minor I wound up taking German. Back in those days my oral comprehension had been excellent [I’d received an A], reading comprehension had been a B+ with my writing being somewhat lower. It is the oral capabilities which is the most important that one needs to communicate to others in German.While my oral comprehension of German going from German to English after all of these years is still relatively quite decent after all of these years; these days I’ve got problems trying to formulate what I’d like to say in German. The reason I’m mentioning this is that my dear OH and I might be traveling to Europe this summer with the possibility of spending a day or two in either Germany or Austria.This being said I found this book to be an Ausgezeichnet [excellent] resource with which I regain much of the vocabulary I once had. The manner is which the book has been formatted with the 2,000 most commonly used words it contains is straight-forwarded; giving each word in German and their English translation; which is aptly followed by a sentence for each word, first in German and then in English. The book also gives its readers a list of tips which should enhance their use of the book. There’s also a FREE Audibook available which I would recommend getting so your German pronunciation will be on par with your improved vocabulary.For wanting its readers to increase their German vocabulary without any real hassles, as it’s doing for me, I’m giving this book 5 STARS.

    Introduction

    Learning a new language can be compared to starting to swim as a child; it’s actually one of the best analogies you can make about it. At first, you’ll stand on the shore or the edge of the pool and look at that great mass of liquid, wondering just how you’re going to start. After all, if you don’t get it right, you’ll start drowning and your interest in learning probably won’t last much longer after that. So, you wait patiently and lick your lips in anticipation.

    Finally, you dare to make a move and jump inside. What you do next will decide just what kind of a person you are.

    I use this comparison because many people are too afraid to dare to jump into that pool and take a chance at learning a new tongue — a language that can open new doors for you in your future and become a tool that you’ll use to communicate with an entirely fresh community.

    There are over 100 million German speakers in the world and many of the biggest companies in the world will value a worker that speaks two languages!

    If you’ve picked this book up, you’ve already made good progress in learning the language. This book can give you an incredible tool in learning the German language: vocabulary. Now you’ve just got to learn how to use it.

    What this book is about and how to use it:

    When I began to teach German in personal, one-to-one lessons several years ago, I remember that I used the same system I’d learned while working at a German school: to teach every single aspect of grammar — the alphabet, nouns, adjectives and so many other things that eventually overwhelmed several of my students and left them dumbfounded. Soon, I learned that I wasn’t doing it right and that I was failing my students. While an institute can get away with making you return every single week for a long, boring class about how verbs work, most people who learn German (or any language) in an unofficial manner simply want to know the most important thing:

    They want to expand their vocabulary.

    There are hacks to learning every language, but learning the vocabulary is a surefire way of speeding up your learning of a new tongue. Just look at these three amazing stats found in a study done in 1964:

    Learning the first thousand (1000) most frequently used words of a language will allow you to understand 76.0% of all non-fiction writing, 79.6% of all fiction writing and an astounding 87.8% of all oral speech.

    Learning the top two thousand (2000) most frequently used words will get you to 84% for non-fiction, 86.1% for fiction, and 92.7% for oral speech.

    Learning the top three thousand (3000) most frequently used words will get you to 88.2% for non-fiction, 89.6% for fiction, and 94.0% for oral speech.

    Just look at those stats and imagine what you could do with this book once you’ve thoroughly read and practiced what it contains? We’re providing you with two thousand of the most frequently used words — equivalent to an understanding of 92.7% of oral speech!

    We achieve this not only by giving you a long list of words; there must be context to allow the words to sink in, and we provide that. Each of the terms will be listed with its translation in English and two example sentences, one in each language, allowing you to study the use of each word in a common, accessible manner. We have ordered the terms in their largest number of occurrences in common media, allowing you to begin with the simplest and most regularly-used words first before moving on to the less-used ones.

    So now, do you need anything else while reading this book? Yes, you may, as always. There are hundreds of thousands of more words out there, but these will certainly give you a head-start on learning the language and getting closer to mastering it.

    Recommendations for readers of 2000 Most Common German Words In Context:

    Although we’d love to begin right away with helping you learn the vocabulary we’ve provided in this book, we’ve got a few tips and recommendations for getting the most out of this book:

    IMPORTANT NOTE: All words in German are inherently Masculine, Feminine or Neuter due to grammatical rules used in the language. Even so, there are many words that can be applied one or more genders, and which are more or less neutral for your use. However, there are some words that may only apply or be used for male, female or neuter subjects. I’ve made sure to put (Masculine), (Feminine) or (Neuter) after the English translation to save you any embarrassments. Make sure to take this into account when you use the words in the future.

    The 2000 Most Common Words in German

    Hello again, reader. As we previously stated in the Introduction, the words have been arranged by their frequency of use in common media, such as films, series and books. Feel free to rearrange them during your practice to make things interesting.

    You will be provided with a word, a translation of said word and two examples of the term given. It’s as easy as that. At the end of the book you’ll also be given a list of all the terms to refresh your memory.
