De: Paul Noble

Narrado por: Paul Noble

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 3 hours of everyday scenarios 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.

Any additional comments?

If you buy this Part 1, don't bother with Part 2, and perhaps 3 and 4 as well. Part 2 is a repeat of what was learned in Part 1. Although once you buy Part I you do not need to buy the other Parts, I was disappointed that I could not continue on in the series and learn more vocabulary. Instead, I had to switch to another language system.

This guy is incredible

If you could sum up Learn German with Paul Noble, Part 1 in three words, what would they be?

Completely new way to learn that is fantastic! You first learn to speak German with the English equivalents. So you are speaking German in English. You don't even know you are speaking German but you are. You learn sentence structure first, THEN you slowly learn real German words. You get comfortable with speaking German before you deep dive. This is perfect for me.

Don't buy any other book, this is the one.

learning for my son

I hesitated in purchasing the audible but after a few minutes of listening to the narrator I began to peace more together immediately. I spend a lot of time on the highways driving for work and I've completed this lesson and greatly increased my German. I am learning German for the benefit of my infant son so that he can be bilingual in a good business language. my mother-in-law is from Germany and is assisting us and teaching him German. I have learned a great deal from this first lesson and will continue with all additional courses.

Better than my University language training

What did you love best about Learn German with Paul Noble, Part 1?

I have completed introductory training at University (and won the Goethe Society prize so I didn't suck at it); but have to acknowledge that this was superior in so many ways. For a start grammar is acquired through practical exercises that equip you with useful vocabulary and sentence constructions. At Uni the emphasis was on the technical aspects of language, but even having done well, I found routine conversation difficult to manage. From there I tried all sorts of courses that really taught set phrases but didn't equip me for the various forms of response.

Paul's teaching method produces astonishingly quick results. It treats language a bit like Lego and gives you the means to pull it apart and reassemble it to suit a range of practical situations. There's not the tiresome exercises of going through endless vocab lists etc common to many other courses.

I listened to this in the car to and from work for a month and really got value from it. By the way, it's very substantial (long) and that's a great thing because, relative to its cost, this provides tons of value.

Would you be willing to try another book from Paul Noble? Why or why not?

I've purchased # 2 and # 3 solely based upon my experience with the first book

Which character – as performed by Paul Noble – was your favorite?

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

NA

Any additional comments?

Paul's own voice was a little softly spoken at times - but never enough to be a problem and the young woman who does the German voice-over is extremely clear at all times and speaks at a good pace for learners

The best!

I've tried many methods to learn German over the years and had little success. Memorizing grammatical charts Is tedious and never stuck. Phrase books don't really give you a feel for how to construct your own sentences confidently. Classroom instruction is expensive and soon becomes overwhelming. I love this system. LOVE it! You explore the rules one by one and get used to it before moving on. "Old" vocabulary is repeated often so it's easily recalled. I really feel like I'm making great progress. Can't recommend this enough.
