To say it right away: We would not recommend THE ultimate text book for learners of German.
The factors of learning goals and learning conditions to be considered in the choice are too varied. For example:
- Are you planning an online or evening course with only one or two hours per week or do you want an intensive course of 4-6 lessons per day?
- Or do you want to teach yourself?
- Do you want to specialize in German grammar, a mix of text work and grammar or do you just want to learn a bit German for holidays?
- Is there a specific topic area for which you want to learn German? E.g.. Business, media, history or tourism?
- What is your mother tongue? For almost every language there is a special text book, which specializes the specific requirements and learning problems associated with each language.
In answering these questions, you should be able to find the best text book suited to your needs.
To make the search easier for you, we would like to give you a summary of the most important publishing houses and their offers for "German as foreign language", main focus: "German for adults", followingly.
Furthermore you find a link for direct order (amazon.com) for the textbooks marked by # at the end of this side.
