o Introduction

first without referring to the

vocabulary list to see how much

you can already understand,

making guesses about any

words or phrases you are not

sure of. The activities which

accompany the text will help

you develop reading

comprehension skills.

test yourself. You will be given

prompts in English on the

recording, so you can do this

test without the book.

8 (book) At the very end of each

unit you will find some

suggestions for revision and

ideas for further practice.

Each unit builds on the work of the

preceding units, so it's very

important to learn the vocabulary

and structures from each unit

before you move on. There are

review sections after units 3, 7, 10,

and 14 for you to test yourself on

the material learnt so far.

Other support features

If you want a more detailed

grammar explanation than those

given in the Language Building

sections, you will find a Grammar

Summnry at the end of the book.

For a definition of the grammar

terms used in the course, see the

Glossary ofGrammatical Terms on

page 245.

The Answers section at the end of

the book is designed not only to

tell you if your responses were

correct or not, but also to explain

why, where possible. Some

activities require you to give

information about yourself, so you

may also need to check some

vocabulary in a dictionary.

At the end of the book you'll find a

comprehensive Gennan-English

Vocabulary.

Oxford Take Off In Gemlan is

designed to help the beginner

develop the basic language skills

necessary to communicate in

German in most everyday

situations. It is intended for

learners working by themselves,

providing all the infonnation and

support necessary for successful

language learning.

How to use the course

The book and the recording are

closely integrated, as the emphasis

is on speaking and listening. The

recording contains step-by-step

instructions on how to work

through the units. The presenter

will tell you when to use the

recording on its own, when to use

the book, and when and how to

use the two together. The book

provides support in the form of

transcriptions of the recording

material, translations of new

vocabulary, and grammar

explanations. You'll find this icon

@ in the book when you need to

listen to the recording.

1 (recording/book) Read the unit

objectives on the first page

telling you what you will learn

in the unit, and then begin by

listening to the first dialogue on

the recording. There are three of

these sections. You may not

understand everything the first

time you hear it, but try to resist

the temptation to look at the

transcript in the book. The first

activity on the recording will

help you develop your listening

skills by suggesting things to

concentrate on and listen out for.

You'll be given the opportunity

to repeat some of the key

sentences and phrases from the

dialogue before you hear it a

second time. You may need to

refer to the vocabulary list

(book) before completing the

second activity (book). Listen to

the dialogue as many times as

you like, but as far as possible

try not to refer to the dialogue

transcript (book).

2 (book) Once you have listened

to all the new language, take

some time to work through the

transcript, Vocabulary,

Language Building, and

activities in the book to help

you Wlderstand how it works.

3 (recording) Then it's time to

practise speaking: first

Pronunciation practice and then

the Your turn activity. You will

be given all the instructions and

cues you need by the presenter

on the recording. The first few

times you do this you may need

to refer back to the vocabulary

and language building sections

in the book, but aim to do it

without the book after that.

4 (book) The fourth learning

section, Culture, concentrates on

reading practice. Try reading it

5 (recording/book) For the final

learning section, return to the

recording to listen to the Story.

This section gives you the

opportunity to have some fun

with the language and hear the

characters in the story use the

language you have just learnt in

different situations. The aim is

to give you the confidence to

cope with authentic German.

There are activities in the book

to help you.

6 (book) Return to the book, and

work through the activities in

the Test section to see how well

you can remember and use the

language you have covered in

the unit. This is best done as a

written exercise. Add up the

final score and, if it is not as

high as you had hoped, try

going back and reviewing some

of the sections.

7 (recording/book) As a final

review, turn to the Summary on

the last page of the unit. This

will test your understanding of

the new situations, vocabulary

and grammar introduced in the

unit. Use the book to prepare

your answers, either by writing

them down or speaking aloud,

then return to the recording to

The German language

English sentences also differ in

many instances. However, while at

the beginning of the course things

may look all too different to you,

they will gradually begin to form a

pattern. The vocabulary and gram-

matical structures covered in this

course prepare you for everyday

conversations in German.

Pronunciation

German is spoken by approximate-

ly 80 million people in Germany,

and by several million in other

European countries such as Austria

(7 million), Luxemburg (c.300,OOO),

Switzerland (3.4 million), and the

region of Alsace-Lorraine in France

(1.5 million). Other countries out-

side Europe where German is spo-

ken are Canada (c.330,OOO), Brazil

(c.5SO,OOO), and the United States

(the Pennsylvania Dutch, who left

Germany during the 18th century,

speak a Rhine-Franconian dialect).

Vowels

Each vowel has a short and a long version. As a general rule, vowels are

long when followed by a single consonant or by h and short when fol-

lowed by two consonants. All double vowels are long.

Pronunciation

lesson

To achieve good pronunciation,

there is no substitute for listening

carefully to the recording and, if

possible, to German native

speakers, and trying to reproduce

the sounds you hear. Here are a

few guidelines for you to keep in

mind when doing so. You will find

this section most useful if you

listen to the Pronunciation section

on the recording as you read it.

In the last few years there have

been various attempts to change

German spelling, which was con-

solidated at the end of the 19th cen-

tury in the Rechtschreibung der

Deutschen Sprache (Orthography of

the eennan Language), by the

German philologist Konrad Duden.

After much controversy, all except

one of the Bundesllinder accepted

the Rechtschreibreform ('spelling

reform'). The Bundesland of

Schleswig-Hollstein refused to

accept the orthographical changes,

and still upholds the former Duden

dictionary as the authoritative

guide to correct spelling, even

though the overall changes are

quite small. This course follows the

new spelling rules.

To the English native speaker, the

main difference between English

and German is the use of grammat-

ical genders and cases, which

determine the endings of words.
