German Shortcut: Transfer your Knowledge from English and Speak Instant German!

By Irineu De Oliveira

Read these two words out loud: Nation, Universit t. Both German. Both already yours.

German and English are cousins, and on top of that both borrowed heavily from Latin - so the overlap is bigger than most learners are ever shown. -tion stays -tion. -ty becomes -it t. -ic becomes -isch. -ly becomes -lich. -ism becomes -ismus. Each of those is a rule worth hundreds of words.

German Shortcut is a conversion method, not a grammar book. Cases and word order can wait; vocabulary is what lets you say something today.

Inside this book:

Chapter-by-chapter conversion rules, from -tion to -lichWord Vaults holding around 5,000 recognisable German wordsA pronunciation gym in every chapter, with the stressed syllable markedTranslation drills and real sentences after every ruleFalse-friend alerts, so Gift and bekommen never embarrass youA topic vocabulary chapter: travel, food, work, family, numbers

Who it is for: beginners, people moving to Germany, Austria or Switzerland for work, adults restarting school German, and learners who stalled on grammar and want words instead.

Put away the textbooks. Speak German the smart way.
