Language Books If you are looking
for books to teach yourself German from scratch, please
bear in mind that it is extremely difficult to achieve
this without a teacher. We would strongly recommend
you take at least a few lessons to get you started,
if not with us then at evening school or wherever suits
you best. We have heard so many stories of people who
tried to learn a language just from books and tapes
but soon gave up in frustration. A few lessons at the
beginning sets you on the right path. Once you have
grasped how the language works and how it sounds, you
can learn more and more by yourself.
If you live in or
near Manchester, you could start a one-to-one German
course with us tomorrow (or whenever you like). Click

to read about our flexible, customised courses.
These books, then, are recommended
as additional resources to accompany a course of lessons
and/or for more advanced study. |
