This is a travel guide specifically designed for Chinese learners of German going abroad, suitable for those working, studying, traveling, or visiting relatives in Germany. The book features 27 topics closely related to daily life, categorized by function and scenario. It includes all the emotions you need to express in daily life and covers various topics related to study and work. The content is organized around the most commonly used "scenarios" and the most practical "functions," ensuring a comprehensive yet concise guide.
When selecting sentence patterns, the book follows the principles of "common usage" and "ease of learning," prioritizing sentences used in daily life in Germany, supplemented by essential vocabulary to expand readers' expressive abilities in the shortest time possible. To accommodate Chinese readers' language habits (thinking in Chinese first, then in foreign language), the core sentence patterns are presented with Chinese first, followed by German.
The "Expand Your Options" section summarizes multiple ways to express the core sentences, deepening readers' understanding of similar phrases. Additionally, a special "Scenario Responses" section highlights the practicality of the language, giving readers a sense of immersion and helping them achieve a deeper understanding of both the language and German culture.
Beyond language itself, the book also introduces cultural background knowledge to help readers gain a more profound understanding of German and German life.
