Features: A German Vocabulary is an auxiliary tool that greatly simplifies the process of learning German words.
1. Common large dictionaries often include over 100,000 entries, but it is impossible for us to learn them all! This book selects words commonly used 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 from the same field together can be twice as effective. For example: Verkehr (traffic), Fahrrad (bicycle), Auto (car), Taxi (taxi), Bus (bus), LKW (truck), etc. Considering this, this book is organized by word families rather than alphabetical order. If you want to find any word in alphabetical order, the index at the back of the book can help you.
3. Learning words individually is a good method, but learning word usage simultaneously yields even 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 its definition. It includes examples, fixed phrases, and compound words. Therefore, you will see three columns on each page:
- The left column is the German word;
- The middle column is the Chinese definition;
- The right column is the German example.
In the third column, the corresponding entries are marked with (~). This layout helps you learn better and more effectively: First, carefully read through the words. Then:
1. Cover the Chinese definition with a piece of paper and recall the meaning of the word;
2. Cover the German word in the left column and recall the word using the Chinese definition;
3. Cover the German word in the left column and read aloud the examples in the third column, where the corresponding words are marked with (~), reinforcing memory.
In short, this book provides the most effective method for learning vocabulary, helping you learn over 4,000 basic German words effortlessly and lay a solid foundation for your German studies.
