build on what you know
learn german as it is spoken today
increase the range of your vocabulary

Teach Yourself German Vocabulary is a completely new book, incorporating the most up-to-date language learning techniques. Unlike a phrasebook or a dictionary, it will take your existing knowledge and build on it systematically and organically, so that you will increase your vocabulary and at the same time expand your range of expression.

The main part of the book is arranged in topics, such as 'Work', 'Travel and Accommodation' and 'Food and Drink', and concentrates on the vital and most current words and expressions, listing those which you might already know and then extending the coverage to teach you those you may not know.

Lisa Kahlen, the author, was born and educated in Germany, where she taught for many years before moving to Scotland to teach German to adults.

Rosi McNab, the series editor, is the best-selling author of language books in the UK. She started her teaching career in further education then went into secondary school teaching, where she stayed for over twenty years. Frustration with the course books available to her led her to write her own and she has never looked back.
