A1 - German Language Foundation 00

Most German courses hand you a grammar textbook on day one — before you can even pronounce the alphabet. Foundation 00 starts earlier: how German sounds, how to read and spell it, how to count and greet people, and how to handle your first real conversation. No grammar terms, no guesswork — just what you need before Workbook 1 begins.

Written specifically for English speakers, explanations compare German sounds directly to English and never assume prior knowledge. This is for self-directed learners, tutors, homeschoolers, and students getting a head start before class begins.

What You Will Learn

• The German alphabet, including Ä, Ö, Ü, and ß
• The sounds beginners find hardest: ch, sch, sp, st, z, v, w, r, eu, ei, ie, au

• Essential classroom phrases and a realistic first conversation
