German vocabulary for English speakers - 9000 words

By Andrey Taranov

T&P Books vocabularies are intended for helping you learn, memorize and review foreign words. The dictionary is divided into themes, covering all major spheres of everyday activities, business, science, culture, etc.

The process of learning words using T&P Books’ theme-based dictionaries gives you the following advantages:

• Correctly grouped source information predetermines success at subsequent stages of word memorization

• Availability of words derived from the same root allowing memorization of word units (rather than separate words)

• Small units of words facilitate the process of establishing associative links needed for consolidation of vocabulary

• Level of language knowledge can be estimated by the number of learned words

GERMAN VOCABULARY

for English speakers

• Contains the most commonly used words

• Recommended as an addition to any language course

• Meets the needs of beginners and advanced learners of foreign languages

• Convenient for daily use, reviewing sessions, and self-testing activities

• Allows you to assess your vocabulary

T&P Books vocabularies are intended for helping you learn, memorize and review foreign words. This vocabulary contains over 9000 commonly used words arranged thematically. 256 themes cover all major aspects of everyday activities, business, science, culture, etc.

Foreign language learners often feel the necessity to enrich their vocabulary with new words and review the materials they have studied before in order to talk on different subjects more fluently and comprehensively. Conventional dictionaries with alphabetical arrangement of words fail to

produce effective results, whereas theme dictionaries from T&P Books are specially designed to elevate the convenience of studying and reviewing the vocabulary.

This vocabulary book can be used as an addition to a foreign language course textbook or a course. It will become an invaluable helper during a trip abroad. T&P Books dictionaries are particularly convenient to use for multiple reviewing, which is crucial for producing positive results in language learning.
