Publisher's summary

Dear German language student,

Mastering German Conversation by Dr. Brians Languages is based on the highly acclaimed language learning program developed by the Foreign Service Institute (FSI) for U.S. Government personnel in the 1940's. The training enabled the students to live and work in a foreign country.

This course is more challenging than other approaches. We encourage you to try an excerpt before you buy it: www.drbrianslanguages.com.

The FSI approach is straightforward: learn how to converse in German by speaking in German. Mastering German Conversation allows the complete beginner to do exactly that.

The FSI inspired Guided Imitation drills provide staged conversations. These staged conversations are performed exclusively in German. You hear an input, understand the input, and formulate a response in German. In this way, you learn to think in German. You are now prepared for live conversations on the streets of Berlin.

Mastering German Conversation is an updated version of the original FSI course. The drills have been completely modernized, rewritten and re-recorded by a native speaker.

Set 1 covers:

1) masculine, feminine and neuter genders: der, die, das 2) nominative, accusative, dative and genitive cases 3) adjective endings

At the end of set 1, you will be able to accurately apply all the above grammar rules in real-time conversation. You will also learn useful vocabulary for navigating typical travel encounters associated with the airport, the train station, the hotel, the restaurant, etc.

This program is likely the most intensive and demanding self-help program available. If you really want to master German conversation, this course is for you.

We wish you the best, The Mastering German Conversation Team

This is a great way to master conversation skills

I have been looking for a course like this for a long time. The practice drills are very effective. They help build the mental agility you need when conversing. The repetition really helps me with long-term memory. I am looking forward to the next unit.
