Publisher's summary
Is conversational German turning a little too tricky for you? Do you have no idea how to order a meal or book a room at a hotel?
If your answer to any of the previous questions was yes, then this book is for you!
If there’s even been something tougher than learning the grammar rules of a new language, it’s finding the way to speak with other people in that tongue. Any student knows this - we can try our best at practicing, but you always want to avoid making embarrassing mistakes or not getting your message through correctly.
"How do I get out of this situation?" many students ask themselves, to no avail, but no answer is forthcoming.
Until now.
We have compiled more than 100 conversational German stories for beginners along with their translations, allowing new German speakers to have the necessary tools to begin studying how to set a meeting, rent a car, or tell a doctor that they don’t feel well. We’re not wasting time here with conversations that don’t go anywhere: If you want to know how to solve problems (while learning a ton of German along the way, obviously), this book is for you!
How Conversational German Dialogues works:
- Each new chapter will have a fresh new story between two people who wish to solve a common, day-to-day issue that you will surely encounter in real life.
- An German version of the conversation will take place first, followed by an English translation. This ensures that you fully understood just what it was that they were saying.
- Before and after the main section of the book, we shall provide you with an introduction and conclusion that will offer you important strategies, tips, and tricks to allow you to get the absolute most out of this learning material.
- That’s about it! It's simple, useful and incredibly helpful; you will not need another conversational German book once you have begun studying this one!
We want you to feel comfortable while learning the tongue; after all, no language should be a barrier for you to travel around the world and expand your social circles!
So look no further! Pick up your copy of Conversational German Dialogues and start learning German right now!
Please note: This audiobook is in German.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

What is the hardest challenge you’ve faced as a student of the German language? You can work hard on your grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, but being able to communicate naturally isn’t easy. In fact, the toughest part of learning German is knowing how to speak like a native. Most textbooks are made to teach you the traditional rules and structures of a language and are great for getting around the grammar and spelling questions you may have.

Do you know what the hardest thing for a German learner is? Finding proper reading material that they can handle…which is precisely the reason we’ve written this book! Teachers love giving out tough, expert-level literature to their students, books that present many new problems to the reader and force them to search for words in a dictionary every five minutes - it’s not entertaining, useful or motivating for the student at all, and many soon give up on learning at all!

Grammar! For many of us, the word triggers memories of finger-wagging schoolteachers, and of wrestling with the ambiguous and complicated rules of using formal language. But what is grammar? In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write. As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.

In fact, the toughest part of learning German is knowing how to speak like a native. Most textbooks are made to teach you the traditional rules and structures of a language and are great for getting around the grammar and spelling questions you may have.

Accent is everything in language. It is the difference between getting the respect of a native, and being laughed at for "murdering the language". This book is great for improving the German accent. The narration is conversational; however, for effective learning, one might play it at a reduced speed. This ensures every part of word pronunciation is captured, and the accompanying Pdf can also be used for reference.

Fast Perfekt (Almost Perfect)
Fast Perfekt (Almost Perfect)
Each conversation is short enough to hold your attention, but long enough for a sense of German language immersion. To get the most out of it, I adjusted the playback speed in the Audible app to slow it down a little, so I could better discern when one word ended and the next began. Some of the stories are quite amusing! Each conversation is directly followed by its English translation, forcing the listener to fully pay attention to the spoken German without the help of prior knowledge of the story; sometimes I could only understand a few random words here and there and had no idea what the conversation was about and was then happily surprised to discover what they were really saying. The feature that convinced me to buy this Audible book was the accompanying PDF file containing the complete written transcript. This will be invaluable to me, now that I’ve heard all 105 conversations, as I can study the vocabulary and grammar at my own pace, while I listen to the book again several more times. My only real complaint is the vocal delivery of many of the conversations: in the German version it’s often one voice actor playing both parts, but he or she doesn’t attempt to alter their voice at all and I ended up not realizing that it actually was a conversation between two people until I heard the English version, which used different voice actors who were much more expressive and made it clear there were two separate people chatting. So I think I missed a lot of comprehension due to the flat delivery of some of the German voice actors. But this complaint isn’t a major one, and I highly recommend this Audible book to beginner-intermediate learners such as myself.

Excellent way to improve German accent and vocabul
One of the most effective methods of learning a language is to listen to a native speaker. This aids the improvement (and mastery) of enunciation and pronunciation. Here, it is German that is taught. The lessons are introduced as fun stories in a conversational manner, and short stories are also included to depict realistic situation for interaction. The aim being to bring the listener up to speed is easily achieved, depending on the listener's dedication. In the end, it is a good resource for speeding up German comprehension.

conversations too long to connect to translations
this book might be fine and effective if ... there was a printed book that goes along with the conversation; if there were shorter english/ german conversations so we can learn easily. using this audio book requires way above beginner level of understanding of German. It is a waste of time for total novices.
