It is grouped into themes, and key phrases are broken down into short sections, to help you build a wide variety of sentences. A lot of the vocabulary is illustrated to make it easy to remember, and “You may hear” boxes feature questions you are likely to hear. At the back of the book there is a menu guide, listing about 500 food terms, and a 2,000- word two-way dictionary. Numbers and the most useful phrases are listed on the jacket flaps for quick reference. Nouns All German nouns (words for things, people, and ideas) are masculine, feminine, or neuter. The gender of singular nouns is shown by the word for “the”: der (masculine), die(feminine), or das (neuter). Die is also used with plural nouns. You can look up the gender of words in the German–English dictionary at the back of the book. Some nouns, such as people’s jobs or nationalities, change endings according to whether you are talking about a man or woman. In this book the masculine form is usually shown, followed by the feminine form: I’m American Ich bin Amerikaner/ Amerikanerin “A” The word for “a” or “an” also changes according to gender. It is ein for masculine and neuter words and eine for feminine words. Alternatives are shown as below: Another…please Noch ein/eine…bitte “You” There are two ways of saying “you” when addressing someone in German: Sie (polite) and du (familiar). In this book we have used Sie throughout as this is what you normally use with people you don’t know. 0U0S4_-000045-_0V0i5su_aVliPsuharalPsehbraosoekb_oDoek__EDDe6_3E4D 6 941.indd 4 150/1/32//0088 1102::4186::4333 INTRODUCTION 5 Pronunciation guide Below each German word or phrase in this book, you will find a pronunciation guide. Read it as if it were English and you should be understood, but remember that it is only a guide and for the best results you should listen to and mimic native speakers. Some German sounds are different from those in English, so take note of how the letters below are pronounced. a like a in father ä like e in get au like ow in how äu, eu like oy in toy b like b at the beginning of a word like p at the end of a word ch pronounced at the back of the throat, like ch in the Scottish word loch d like d in dog at the beginning of a word like t in tin at the end of a word ei like y in by, or i in pile i like i in hit, or ee in see ie like ee in see j like y in yes ö like ur in burn qu like kv r rolled at the back of the throat s like s in see, sh in ship, or z in zoo sch like sh in shop ß like ss in grass u like oo in boot ü like ew in dew v like f in foot w like v in van z like ts in pets 0U0S4_-000045-_0V0i5su_aVliPsuharalPsehbraosoekb_oDoek__EDDe6_3E5D 6 951.indd 5 150/1/32//0088 1102::4186::4344 6 ESSENTIALS ESSENTIALS In this section, you will find the essential words and phrases you will need for basic everyday talk and situations. Be aware of cultural differences when you are addressing native German speakers, and remember that they tend to be very formal when greeting each other. There are two ways of saying “you” in German. Sie is used for older people or ones you don’t know very well, whereas the more familiardu is used with family and friends.
