Taking a truly communicative-oriented approach, Augustyn/Eubas WELTEN: INTRODUCTORY GERMAN, ENHANCED, 1st edition, brings German culture to life -- inspiring readers to examine their own worldview through the lens of another language and culture. Twelve chapters revolve around the "worlds" of 12 people in different places. Each chapter focuses on the life, work, interests and environment of these individuals through different types of texts that are relevant to their world -- such as a student in Jena, a designer in Basel and a chef in the Alps. These texts have been specifically selected for their level-appropriateness, accessibility and genre-specific characteristics. The result is captivating content for the introduction and practice of grammar and vocabulary. The authors also pay special attention to the integration and practice of high-frequency vocabulary.
