Improving Your Comprehension of German

This book abounds with guided activities. Activities often build on each other. The instructions for most of the activities are in English. The activities are designed to help one learn to find information in german text of various forms, to aid in building vocabulary, grammatical skills and understanding, and to familiarise one more thoroughly (both linguistically and culturally) with the following topics and more:Love, Marriage, and Partnership; Typical Men and Women; Family Life; The Older Generation In Business; Problems of the German Youth; Foreigners in Germany; The Search For America; Germany and the Germans; Pollution and Environmental Issues; The Computerworld; Berlin in the Separated Germany; The Thousand Year (Reich) Kingdom; Distinction Between the East and West;The publication date is 1991, so the cultural information isn't completely up-to-date. For those who haven't any first-hand information on Germany, this information gives a good start. This book builds on your moderate knowledge of German. It aims not only at improving one's German, but also at helping one learn to understand written German in which one may not recognise every word. There are also dialogues designed to help imporve the construction of one's spoken German.
