    11:15KaffeepauseStop 3 of 8

    Three habits. One book at a time.

    What you just did at 10:30, as a method. It is the same in every book.

    1. Read the German first.

      Guess what it means before your eyes drop to the English. That small guess is where you learn.

    2. Use the notes when a word sticks.

      After each section: the words that matter in your job, and the grammar you just met, with examples.

    3. Keep reading forward.

      No rereading, no word lists. Professional texts repeat their key words, so they come back on the next pages by themselves.

    A library card that remembers you, not your data.

    Your field, your du or Sie, the words you marked and the tools you finished: all of it lives on this card, in this browser only. Come back next week and the site picks up where you left off. Delete it in one tap.

    Before you buy.

    Which level do I need?

    B1–B2. You should already read simple German with some effort. Every sentence has its English straight after it, so you never get stuck, but these books won’t teach you German from zero.

    How does a page look?

    A German sentence in bold, then its English. After each section come notes on the vocabulary and on the grammar you just met, with examples. You read forward; words come back in context instead of in drills. Try the page above.

    Why texts about my profession?

    Because that is the German you need at work: the words your team uses in reviews, briefs and meetings. You learn them in sentences you could say tomorrow, about topics you already understand.

    Is this a course?

    No. It’s a reading supplement for the long stretch between B1 and B2, next to a course, an app or a tandem. Short sessions work: a section, its notes, done.

    Does this site track me?

    Only if you say yes. With „Akzeptieren“ in the cookie notice we count visits with Google Analytics to see which pages help; with „Nur notwendige“ nothing of that loads. No advertising. Your field, your word list and your stamps stay in this browser; delete them from your Leseausweis.

    Where can I read the books?

    Here in our shop. Depending on the title, also on Amazon Kindle, Google Play Books and Apple Books.

    Why does reading work without exercises?

    Because you meet the words in the place you need them: in sentences from real office work, with the English right after and the grammar explained after each text. No drills, no memorising. The more you read, the more feeling for the language you build, and the words come back by themselves in the next texts.

    Which languages are the translations in?

    English today. French, Ukrainian, Italian and Spanish are planned.
