Kolophon
What’s in every book.
Printed books end with a colophon: the facts about how they were made. Ours, for all titles.
- Level
- B1–B2. You read simple German already.
- Page
- A German sentence, then its English, so you never leave the text to look a word up. After each text: the words that matter at work and the grammar you just met.
- Texts
- Real topics from one profession: design systems, analytics, marketing funnels. The German your team uses.
- Length
- About 80 to 165 pages, depending on the title.
- Format
- Ebook from this shop. Depending on the title, also on Kindle, Google Play Books and Apple Books.
- Price
- €5.99. No VAT is charged (§ 19 UStG).
- Method
- Learn by reading. No drills, no memorising: the more you read, the more the language settles.
Read a page before you buy.
Three sentences from the books of your field. Read the German. If you’re stuck, lift the bar, or slide the Folie over the page. Tap a word you want to keep: it goes into your word list.
Ein Designsystem schafft eine gemeinsame Sprache für Designer und Entwickler.
A design system creates a shared language for designers and developers.
Weniger Fehler, da getestete Komponenten wiederverwendet werden.
Fewer errors since tested components are reused.
Informationen und Bedienung müssen klar und verständlich sein.
Information and operation must be clear and understandable.
0 of 3 second lines lifted.
More fields are being written.
Two series are out, five are in the making. Pull out your spine and the page switches to your field.
German for a whole team, about your own product.
Team packs of the books for onboarding and relocation. Or material made for your company: German texts about your product, your teams and the work they do, in the same format.
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.
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. A section and its notes take a few minutes.
Can I buy them somewhere else?
Depending on the title, also on Amazon Kindle, Google Play Books and Apple Books. The store buttons under each book take you there.
Why is there no VAT on the price?
learngerman.school is a small business under the German small-business rule (§ 19 UStG), so no VAT is charged. The price you see is the price you pay.
Can my company buy them for a team?
Yes. Write to us with the number of people and their roles. We also prepare material about your own product and your teams.
