I plan to take the Goethe-Zertifikat A1 Start Deutsch 1 by mid-November. I want to prepare on my own as I wish to see if I can actually learn a language from scratch. I have begun Sandberg's German for Reading, and I also have Pimsleur's audio material. Would these resources be enough to prepare for the exam? I plan to put in an hour daily (I work, so can't set aside more time). Would 2 months be enough to prepare for the exam?

Amazon.com: Pimsleur Hungarian Level 1 CD: Learn to Speak and Understand Hungarian with Pimsleur Language Programs (Comprehensive) (932): Pimsleur: Books. I have now a reasonable command of basic things to say in predictable situations, plus a bit extra. Like other reviewers, I wish there were a.

Also, how much of Sandberg's book and how many lessons of Pimsleur would I need to cover to be reasonably prepared? My focus is on reading and comprehension, but I would dearly love to learn to speak the language too. Background info: I am not a native-speaker of English, but I have studied it at the graduate level. English is my language of research and publication.

I do have experience of learning other languages as my family is multilingual. Angel Sanctuary Scanlation. I am proficient in two other languages, which I learned at home and school (one L1 and the other L2).

If what you want to achieve is A1 and nothing beyond, you best bet would be getting one of the many course books: • Schritte (). You may simply ignore the 1 stars review as they're irrelevant. • Lagune () and a lot more others. Actually it doesn't really matter which one you pick. Any one of them is sufficient. A arguably better alternative would be the free online course offered by Deutsche Welle ().

Do register and try it. Really valuable resource.

Together with Deutsch – warum nicht? () you can go far. (In case you didn't realise already, both the sound files and pdf notes can be found on the right, featuring four series.) Maybe the only problem you would encounter is speaking. The speaking test is actually like this (), and you may panic if you don't already speak in German for a several hours. Try to find someone who speaks German and wants to do a language exchange with you. () is one of them. You may as well find one on Reddit.

By the way, if you really want to have a strong command of German sooner or later, there are some good, though popular (popular doesn't always mean bad) books for foundation, apart from your already awesome German for Reading: • German: How to Speak and Write It () • The Everything Learning German Book () If you insist on getting a grammar book, a nice start would be: • Essential German Grammar () • English Grammar for Students of German () And eventually you may want to take down the boss: • Hammer's German Grammar and Usage () • Duden 04. Die Grammatik () Finally I recommend you to take a look at my favourite reading material when I started, Studien und Plaudereien (), freely offered by Project Gutenberg.

The level of difficulty in Deutsch - warum nicht indeed increases as we progress. Going through all four series would be more than enough for A1 preparation, and somewhere in between you should find yourself confident in: • greeting • asking and answering basic questions • introducing yourself • becoming familiar with directions, family, hobbies, time, number etc Then I suggest you to stop there (though you can probably continue, as it does consolidate the previous material quite well) and take a careful look at the Table of Contents of a A1 course book and hunt for any topic you're not already familiar with. It's hard to practice speaking German without a German-speaking friend or teacher as no one would notice and correct you from the mistakes.
