How to use this book
I
ix
How to use this book
texts to help you. Many exercises gradually increase the focus on more
detailed understanding. You will find that exercises focusing on the
content of reading and listening texts are designed to help you under-
stand the texts without looking up every word.
You have chosen to continue your study of German using this
course. lt will help you to work on all four language skills: speaking,
listening, reading and writing. You will come across a wide range of
material from newspaper articles, invitations, the internet, poetry and
advertisements.
Whilst you
are
improving your German you will also be learning
about contemporary life in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, both
through reading and listening to the German texts in this book and
on the CD, but also through the cultural information Wissen Sie das
schon? You will also find useful advice as you learn the language, in
Lerntipps.
This book is designed as an intermediate German
self-study
course,
but it is equally usable as part of an adult education, college or
university German programme. The course assumes that you have
some knowledge of German already. You will build on what you
already know, but when you come across something that you are not
confident of, please take the time to go back over things. The course
is designed so that you move
easily
between the activities and the
Grammar Summary.
Using the Key to Exercises
There are answers to the activities in the Key to Exercises at the back
of the book. Even when you may have given a short answer, the
answers in the key will normally give you full sentences. Check that
you have the content of the answer correct, but reading the fuller
answers offers you further models of good German. Your answers to
the longer, open-ended questions will inevitably differ from those
answers suggested in the key. Do not be put off by the fact that there
is no simple right/wrong answer to these. The process of attempting
to write Ionger answers and of trying to shape your own ideas in
German is a valuable process; writing helps you to process what you
have learnt, reapply it in a different context and hence consolidate
your learning. The suggested answers will often include language which
has just been taught. You can use these answers in a variety of ways:
•
•
•
•
as additional reading practice
to see if there
are
any phrases or expressions you might find
useful and want to learn
to check whether you've used similar word order
to see if you understand the language structures and vocabulary
you have just learnt in a new context. You can, for example, take
a Iook at the cases and see why they're used - with certain pre-
positions, to show the subject
or
object of a sentence, etc. Often
these structures have been used in the sample answer, so
you can
find them easily.
to take extracts from the model to amend
your
own
answer, e.g.
use a certain structure and amend it with the personal informa-
tion you have written down.
Working with the activities
Many of the
exercises
in the course are based on the reading or
listening texts. You are often
encouraged
to focus first on under-
standing the gist of what you are reading or hearing. This helps to
prepare you for what you would experience in a German-speaking
country, where you wouldn't have the chance to Iisten closely for
every word
someone
is saying to
you,
but instead
you
would
want
to know what they
are
talking to
you
about. So, try not to reach
immediately
for the dictionary, however tempting that might be.
It's important that you learn to try to make
sense
of
what you
see
and read even when
you
don't understand it
all.

in

Vocabulary
Whilst you study this course you will come across a Iot of new
language. lt isn't realistic to

every new word you see or hear. You'd soon be overwhelmed with
new language and become frustrated that you can't remernher it all.
Many words are only needed for a particular text, and it wouldn't be
worth you learning them. For example, you may weil come across
the word die Müllverbrennungsanlage,
'waste
incinerator', in a text
on recycling
and
waste management, but unless
you are
interested in
green issues or work in the field you are unlikely to have to use it
actively in a conversation yourself.
Instead of trying to learn everything, when you come across a new
word or phrase, ask yourself 'Is this something I want to learn, is this
something I might be likely to write or say at some stage?'
If
this is
indeed the case, then make a note of it and learn it.
If
you think
you're unlikely for example to talk in German
about
New Year's
Eve
celebrations in Germany, then don't bother learning this vocabulary.
You can still enjoy finding out how festivals are celebrated there, and
the grammar and language structures you practise in this section will
be transferable
to
other Situations.
lt
is worth keeping vocab lists
and
regularly taking the time to
go
back over the
vocabulary you
want
to
learn. Just
seeing
a
word once
and writing it down probably won't be
enough
to learn to use it
yourself. There are different ways of doing this. Some people may
choose to keep alphabeticallists, so they can find the words or phrases
when they want them. Other people may choose to group vocabulary
in word
lists,
linking all
vocabulary
to do
with
the topic of work
together.
Some people

where you
have
a
German word or
phrase
on one side
with the
English
on the other.
Have a go
at
all of these different approaches and decide
which you
find most useful. It helps to fix them in your mind if you make a
conscious
effort to include some of these words systematically in
your answers to the
exercises.

few things are written differently from how you re-
member. There aren't many words that are affected, but ich muss is

ich muß and it's now normal to write dass instead
of daß; spazieren gehen is now written in two words instead of one.
Make sure your dictionary is sufficiently up to date so you can check
on spelling
if you
are
unsure.
Notebook
lt
is a
good
idea to keep
all
of your
written work
together. You
could
have a loose-leaf folder into which
you
insert pages of your work. In
the folder
you
could have different sections, one for answers to the
exercises, one for grammar notes and one for vocabulary. Alter-
natively you could have a notebook with your answers in the front and
your
notes in the back.
If
you
prefer working on a computer,
you
could
have a fotder
for
the
course, with separate
files in it.
Whichever
you prefer,
the main thing is that
your notes
are
easily accessible
for
you
to look over whenever
you want
to review
your
work.
Lerntipps, Wissen Sie das schon?
and
Zur Sprache

give you advice on how to

Wissen Sie das schon?
provides you with background and
cultural
information
and
Zur

explains grammar and

you.
Whenever

you
then find
exercises
to help
you
practise
and
reinforce
what you
have
just
learnt. You
will
probably
also want to
refer
regularly
to the
Grammar Summary at
the back
of
the book.
If
you have additionallanguage books,
such
as
Colloquial
German,
verb tables or grammar books, please do use these when-
ever you
find
them
useful
as
you
study
this
course.
Dictionary
It will be useful for you to have
a
relatively
up-to-date
dictionary.
Some vocabulary is
provided below the texts, but this tends to be
there to help
you
read the text.
lt
isn't likely to be
sufficient
for
answers you
write
and say.
Use the dictionary
sparingly;

It is more important that
you
try to focus
on
understanding the gist of what you read and hear.
