About this book

This German A1 book is designed to support adult learners, offering a clear and structured approach to learning, focusing on practical language use in everyday situations. Built around CEFR guidelines and with the Goethe method, the book ensures a strong foundation in grammar, vocabulary, and speaking, while offering a balanced development of all four language skills: writing, speaking, listening, and reading.

The content is organized into 45 relevant and practical topics, each aligned with CEFR "can-do" statements, allowing learners to measure their progress and see tangible results. This book is ideal for students who want to learn German in a methodical, goal-oriented way, with a focus on real-world communication. It is designed for adult learners with a medium or higher education background who appreciate structured lessons and practical learning methods.

Developed in collaboration with European universities, this book also provides access to multimedia resources, including audio and video, to enhance learning. Through the coLanguage app, learners can take advantage of personalized feedback, progress tracking, and AI-assisted corrections, which adjust exercises based on individual needs. This makes it suitable for both self-study and use in a classroom setting.

The book’s flexible design allows it to be used for test preparation, classroom lessons, or independent study. Teachers can also benefit from progress reports and personalized lesson planning features via the coLanguage portal. With approximately 60 to 80 learning hours, it is perfect for a semester-based course, helping students build the necessary skills to succeed at the A1 level and prepare for the Goethe exam.

As part of a comprehensive series covering levels from A1 to C1, this book ensures a progressive learning experience, with continuous support for students at every stage of their German language journey.
