Synopsis

This book teaches conversational German through a method that harnesses the natural learning process of children acquiring their mother tongue. It avoids the use of English-based explanations and translations, immersing the student in German from the very first lesson. The author believed that traditional translation-based language learning methods were ineffective and counterproductive. Instead, this book focuses on associating perception and thought directly with German speech and sound, establishing a habit of spontaneous language use. The book progresses from concrete concepts taught through object lessons to abstract ideas presented through context and association. It also covers grammar through examples and demonstrations, reducing the difficulties often created by traditional grammar-translation methods. This innovative approach makes learning German easier and more efficient.
