German Courses


An audio course is perhaps the best language teacher you will ever have, because you are in control. You can make it repeat itself at any moment, turn it off when you don't feel like listening to it, take it with you in your car, and make it teach you when you have the free time. We have audio courses for everybody, from two-cassette to 32-cassette courses. If you need any help deciding which one is right for you, please e-mail us at info@101language.com.

Linguaphone allTalk Complete All-Audio Course...

Linguaphone German Complete Course
The Complete Language course helps you learn all four language skills - listening comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing. This in-depth course uses a series of real life dialogues in each lesson to help you learn your new language. You first listen to each short conversation, then read the written script of that conversation while listening again--then the handbook (like your personal tutor) gives explanations of grammar, verbs,etc -helping you to fully understand that dialogue conversation while learning step-by-step about your new language and how to communicate effectively. The Handbook is your tutor. Written in your own language, it provides you with all the necessary language guidance and explanations. It also includes a list of vocabulary and covers all the grammatical points as new words and phrases are introduced in the recordings. The Exercise Book allows you to practice reading, writing, listening and speaking. Eight CD audio recordings of native speakers ensure a good accent, and the Textbook is a printed and illustrated transcription of the CD recordings. This means that you can follow the text whilst listening to the CD and so become familiar with the spelling and structure of the language.

Pimsleur Bookchips for Comprehensive German
Bookchips are compact digital memory cards that can hold five, ten, fifteen hours of spoken audio or more. A single Bookchip - not much larger than a postage stamp - can hold entire audiobooks that would traditionally require a half-dozen to a dozen compact discs or cassettes. Bookchips work on many desktop computers, laptops, other handheld PDA devices and mobile Smartphones with SD memory card slots. Bookchips move seamlessly from device to device, remembering your listening position each time. With Bookchips, it's easy to pick up from where you left off the day before, or skip to any chapter you like. Not only do Bookchips hold hours and hours of high-quality digital audio, they are rugged and reliable. Bookchips are completely electronic, and can be played by devices without any spinning or moving parts - which means Bookchips never skip! Bookchips are much easier to travel or exercise with than cassette or compact discs... and lighter, too. Pimsleur Comprehensive courses come with 30 lessons for each level, normally on 16 CDs. Bookchips for Pimsleur Comprehensive levels I, II, and III are available for for French, German, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, and Chinese.

Accelerated Learning Language Course for German
The Accelerated Learning method is a rich, multi-sensory "theater of the mind." All of your senses are involved so that learning a foreign language becomes as easy as your mother tongue. As children we all learned to speak not just by listening but by seeing and doing. By imitating sounds, copying our parents' actions and associating the sounds with the actions speaking came naturally. With Accelerated Learning you learn your new language - Spanish, French, German or Italian - in exactly the same way that you learned your first language. Based on research from diverse experts in the field of education and psychology - from Bulgarian Georgi Lozanov who pioneered the use of Baroque music, to Howard Gardner of Harvard with his Theory of Multiple Intelligences - Accelerated Learning home study courses provide a wide variety of physical, visual and auditory stimulation. Because your whole brain is involved learning becomes faster, more enjoyable and much more effective. Each foreign language course contains the revolutionary physical learning DVD and booklet, 12 CDs (each 60 minutes long), text book with memory maps, the "name game", and a series of word cards and games.

Wirtschafts-Kommunikation Deutsch
Designed for learners above the "Zertifikat Deutsch" (advanced) level, this 15-chapter course covers the language and protocol of German business. It lays emphasis on potential cultural trouble spots in business communication, both verbal and nonverbal, shows how to avoid them, and teaches strategies for achieving success. The videos are taken from actual corporate training videos currently in use in German-speaking countries. They are used to illustrate new material, and to give learners the all-important experience of viewing business discussions and discussing them. Level 2 concentrates on such topics as employee training, sales and marketing strategies, product development, advanced trade-show planning, corporation logistics, and trend management. The audio cassettes or CDs accompany the text, and are unscripted, requiring various responses from the learner, such as taking notes, proving comprehension, or reacting to the situations presented. The series was created by the Goethe Institute, the Deutsche Industrie- und Handelstag, and Langenscheidt, as the ideal, two-level preparation for the new Prüfung Wirtschafts-Deutsch international.

Wiley's German Business Dictionary
This bi-directional dictionary of business terms seeks to provide the user with the most up-to-date terminology used in international business. The idea behind the creation of this dictionary was to offer a practical tool of manageable length and ease-of-use, rather than a major "unabridged" reference work. The criterion for the inclusion of a given term was the frequency of occurrence in the actual use of that term in international business dealings. The exclusion of infrequently-used terms should greatly facilitate the user's search for everyday terms and expressions. Compiled by native German speakers who have taught business German for more than twenty years, this unique bilingual dictionary is an invaluable tool for business success. Authoritative and easy-to-use, it contains: 16,000 English-German, German-English business words and phrases; essential terms used in all aspects of international business: economics, banking and finance, management, marketing, accounting, and statisticd; quick access to the terms now required for doing business internationally; and clear, concise translations that make it easy to absorb new words and phrases, and to use them with complete confidence.
