During his stays in Chile and Brazil
Daniel Veith elaborated a new method of German language
teaching for speakers of Romance languages.
The course is based on the practical question “What
minimal structures do I need for communication?”.
A logical order of the grammar units according to the
scheme “What do I already know? What do I need
now?” and the direct combination of grammar and
conversation help you to learn the German language in
only 30 units with results that surpass all conventional
methods.
The learning units have the following structure (depending
on the available time they may last one or two hours):
• ¼ of the time: conversation in
order to a) apply the new grammar unit and b) introduce
the new
vocabulary to learn for the next hour
• ½ of the time: explanation of the
new grammar unit and realization of the corresponding
exercises
• ¼ of the time: conversation in
order to apply the new grammar unit and to introduce
the new
vocabulary to learn for the next
hour
The course comprises:
• course book with 30 grammar units and
exercises
• thematic vocabulary (1,500 words)
• CD with the spoken vocabulary
The learning units have the following contents:
