Learn German: One Useful Sentence a Day
Standard German for English speakers: 365 useful sentences in 52 weeks
Each day of the book gives you one German sentence with its meaning, a word-by-word note, a pronunciation guide written for English speakers, a “make it yours” line, a word pyramid and lines to plan your day. Each week has a mind map and a Sunday review; each month has a calendar, a dialogue and a progress check.
The printed hardcover is coming soon to Amazon.
