German Vocabulary Association and Rapid Memorization is an auxiliary tool book that greatly simplifies the process of learning German words.
1. Common large dictionaries often include over 100,000 entries, but it’s impossible for us to learn them all! This book selects the most commonly used words in modern daily German, making it simple and practical. After completing this book, the vocabulary you master will enable you to use words fluently and effortlessly in daily conversations.
2. Have you ever tried memorizing words in alphabetical order? You must know how difficult and tedious that is! However, memorizing words belonging to the same field together yields better results. For example: Verkehr (traffic), Fahrrad (bicycle), Auto (car), Taxi (taxi), Bus (bus), LKW (truck), etc. Considering this, this book organizes entries by word families rather than alphabetical order. If you need to find any word in alphabetical order, the index at the back of the book can help you.
3. While learning words individually is good, learning their usage simultaneously yields greater benefits, allowing you to use them correctly in conversations, discussions, and writing. To help you understand the correct usage of each word, this book adds a "third column" in addition to the word and translation, including examples, fixed phrases, and compound words. Therefore, you can see the following three columns on each page:
- Left column: German word
- Middle column: Chinese translation
- Right column: German example explanation
In the third column, corresponding entries are marked with a tilde (~). This arrangement helps you learn better and more effectively: First, carefully read through the words. Then:
1. Cover the Chinese translation with a piece of paper and recall the meaning of the word.
2. Cover the left column of the German word and recall the word using the Chinese translation.
3. Cover the German word in the left column and read aloud the example explanations in the third column, where the corresponding words are marked with a tilde (~), reinforcing memory.
In summary, this book provides the most effective method for learning vocabulary, helping you effortlessly master over 4,000 basic German words and lay a solid foundation for your German studies.
