Publisher's summary

Paul Noble is a genius with a higher IQ than Einstein. Despite this, he still struggled with language learning at school. He found himself feeling "confused, incapable, and unable to really say anything". As a result of his negative early experiences, Paul has come up with a groundbreaking new method of language teaching that removes the need for months of study. With Paul Noble, everyone really can speak a language.

Part 1 of the course covers:

  • Language ground rules
  • Asking questions
  • Introduction to verbs

At the hotel, a native-speaking German expert helps Paul to deliver the course and to perfect your pronunciation. No complicated grammatical explanations, no rote memorisation, no writing - no stress. Learn over 6,000 words in no time at all and - most importantly - learn how to make your new vocabulary work for you. A downloadable booklet is also included to use as a reference and revision tool.

Learn German with Paul Noble combines an exciting, new, nontraditional approach to language learning with the easy, relaxed appeal of an audio-only product. No books. No rote memorisation. No chance of failure.

Great experience

I really enjoyed this course. It was a great introduction to German and I found it easy to retain the information. It was well presented and gave you plenty of time to construct the answers in German. On to part 2 for me.

Almost effortless learning.

Relaxing and Easy to follow; not rushed or cluttered with arduous tasks. Will seek to continue with Paul's method.

Excellent for Self-Teaching Beginners

What made the experience of listening to Learn German with Paul Noble, Part 1 the most enjoyable?

This is the best program for gaining a firm foundation in the German language when you are teaching yourself. I've tried other audio lessons and podcasts, but even though they say they are for beginners they advance too quickly and the learner (me) gets frustrated and wants to quit. With this program I'm learning German without thinking about it and it is "clicking" with me as never before. Sure, you are not going to be fluent even after going through all four parts of this program, but you will have a solid grip on the language for further study.

The Best!

I have tried many language learning softwares, apps, and classes. This audio book has been not only the most rewarding, but also the most convenient in everyday life. It's paced well enough to learn a little at a time while also engaging you immediately in speaking German. I will listen to it again and can't wait to start the second part as well!

Best german training I've ever had

Listened to it at 1.5x speed. In retrospect I might have skipped to the final half hour which is a high speed review. Recommended for more advanced students. Very excited about Part 2 and Part 3!

Great introduction to the language

I think Paul Noble has an amazing way in breaking down the language. So helpful! Of course ambitiously, I hoped the 11 hours of German would've taken me further - but I've genuinely and comfortably retained what I've learned hear.
