Publisher's Summary

With Paul Noble’s simple, relaxed approach you will learn in a way that suits you – without having to memorise long lists of words you won’t use, scribbling notes as you listen, or feeling frustrated. Instead, Paul will introduce you to the basics of the German language and guide you through over 12 hours of everyday scenarios – from simple situations like asking for directions and eating out to talking about yourself and how to master the different tenses – that are practical, fun, and applicable. Just listen, interact, and learn wherever you are.

Whatever your experience with languages, whether you’re an absolute beginner or someone with basic knowledge who wants to improve their ability, this is the course to get you speaking German quickly, confidently, and with no chance of failure.

A native-speaking German expert will help you to perfect your pronunciation as you progress through the course. You will learn a huge range of vocabulary in no time at all, and be able to quickly make your new knowledge work for you in a variety of everyday scenarios. A downloadable booklet is also included to use as a reference and revision tool.

Paul Noble left school unable to speak a language – having found that the traditional learning methods left him feeling ‘confused, incapable and unable to really say anything’. Determined that there must be a better way to learn, Paul spent years devising his own unique method of learning languages which cuts out all the grammar, all the memorisation, and all the stress. He began using his method to teach in his Language Institute and, thousands of students later, he prides himself on never having had a student fail.

This download contains the entire course – Parts 1, 2, and 3. To continue your language learning journey once you’ve completed this course, download Next Steps in German with Paul Noble for Intermediate Learners – Complete Course.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio on our Desktop Site.

Exceedingly helpful!

I learned so much from this course! It helped fill in some of the blanks I had when doing the Duolingo German course. Mr. Noble's way of teaching definitely worked for me. I have purchased the next book in his Learn German series and can't wait to start learning even more!

Fantastic Intro to German

I am being relocated to Germany for work and only had a couple of months to prepare. I've tried duolingo and a few other resources but without a doubt, this book taught me the most. Listening while working out and walking to work naturally had me absorbing the language. Even after finishing the book I go back and listen to refresh, this will be a resource I listen to for a long time.

Easy to follow

Very easy to follow. I would suggest to repeat the harder sentences more times than the simple phrases.

Great program

Easy to learn and digest and teaches by using simple tricks that link German to English so I can remember more easily

Highly Recommend

This is an excellent supplementary asset to learning German. The book does a great job of utilizing spaced repetition while also teaching vocabulary and (some) grammar. I highly recommend this book if you're learning German. I've already bought the next book.

Here are some recommendations for Paul and their team:
- The last chapter is probably the most important and unfortunately, it's too rushed. Even if I immediately knew the sentence that was to be repeated, I'd get cut off frequently.
- Names of chapters would be fantastic. That way I could easily go back to a topic that I'd like to practice.

Easy step-by-step method

Since I lived for a year in Vienna this material is not new to me. I like though the no-memorization approach based on frequent and random recall . I know from sad experience that native German speakers tend to sometimes "swallow" their endings - unfortunately the native speaker on this recording is no exception. The word "links" (left) is at first pronounced as "linns", with the "k" so soft, that it is practically absent. More seriously the "e" in "einen" is absent and "ein" differs from "einen" only by a slightly longer "n".This is no good in teaching environment, no matter how authentic it is. Warning for North American listeners: Mr Noble speaks with British accent omitting his "r"s, also the vocabulary is British ( "Car Park" for "Parking" etc). Those little issues notwithstanding it is a good course - recommended.

Most helpful audiobook for learning German

This method/approached worked best for me. It still takes time and you have to do the work. I often listened to chapters more than once before moving on. But of all I’ve tried this is the best. Helps train your ear and your ability to speak and recall words. Highly recommend.

Most important part is squeezed in the last part

Very nice and easy to follow... A bit too basic for a "complete course" though. If you're starting German from complete scratch, it's definetly a great starting point

When I started this book I spoke zero German.

Paul Nobel is an amazing teacher I will get more of his books.
Absolutely amazing! When I started this book I spoke zero German. I have a good grasp and looking forward to moving on with my learning. And now possibly traveling to Germany one day. l

First review worth making

I never in my life have been able to finish a language book that I purchase. This one is the first exception ever, and I think that Paul Noble is one of the best language course creators out there. I loved how Paul was able to break everything into digestible pieces. About to go use a credit on the next book.
