      Not sure what this book is useful for. Wasn't useful for me.

      amazing book . pls write more books so that beginners can learn quickly
    • 4/5
      This book is good for what it is, namely, a low-cost book that provides a list of English-German cognates. Cognates are words that are very similar between the two languages. In this case it's usually because they share a Germanic root. With little or no modification, any of these words can be converted from English to German. This means that the student can easily learn dozens of words by learning a conversion rule. For example, English words that end in -ive can generally be converted to German by dropping the e, so aggressive, attractive, and impulsive become agressiv, attraktiv, and impulsiv.

      However, this book will not by itself teach you to speak German in any meaningful way. Knowing a thousand words is not the same thing as speaking German. Also, while the 1,000 or so words presented here are situationally useful, the kind of words you'll use every day are generally not cognates. This book is best used as an add-on once you've already learned the basics. It's not that useful to know a few isolated adjectives like the -ive words I mentioned earlier. However, if you know how to say "He is...", "She is...", "I am..." then you can drop those adjectives in and make more sentences.

      If you're looking for a more comprehensive book that uses similar methods, I'd suggest "Madrigal's Magic Key to German" (also available for French and Spanish). Many of the early chapters are based on conversion rules like this, but the author interleaves them with lessons about how to build sentences.
