      Introduction

      Why learn German through topics?

      So you want to speak German, right? To be able to converse with other German speakers you will need to speak about various topics. Here we introduce the essential vocabulary you will need to speak about 32 everyday topics such as ‘money’, ‘politics’ and ‘food’. This will equip you with both the vocabulary and language skills for speaking in German about the things that you would normally speak about in your own language.

      How does it work?

      We start with an article about each topic. But to keep things interesting we have added an angle. So for example, if the topic is ‘Money,’ then the article is about ‘The History of Money’. This way you will learn essential vocabulary while remaining interested in what you are reading. In order to fully understand how to use the vocabulary there are also example sentences for each of the target words. We have also included full translations of everything to ensure you gain the most from the articles. 

      Who is this book for?

      If you have a good knowledge of basic grammar and vocabulary then this book will help you gain confidence in what you already know, and help you to take your German to the next level. Essentially, if you are a high level beginner or pre-intermediate learner you will definitely benefit and improve both your vocabulary and overall German level.

      ––––––––

      Part 1.

      Jeder denkt, er ist ein guter Autofahrer. Aber manche Leute sind nicht wirklich gut. Italiener sind bekannt für Rasen und das Ignorieren von Ampeln. Sie lieben es auch, dicht aufzufahren und sich gegenseitig zu überholen. Das ist gefährlich und es gibt oft Zusammenstöße. Ich habe dort viele Unfälle gesehen. Gut am Autofahren in Italien ist, dass du überall parken kannst.

      English:

      Everybody thinks that they are a good driver. But of course some people are not good. Italians are famous for speeding and ignoring traffic lights. They also love to tailgate and overtake each other. This is dangerous and they often have crashes. I saw lots of accidents there. The good thing about driving in Italy is that you can park anywhere.

      Vocabulary:

      das Rasen: speeding.

      Example: Er ist gerast und dann hatte er einen Unfall.

      Example: He was speeding and then he had an accident.

      die Ampel: traffic lights.

      Example: Du musst an der Ampel halten, wenn sie rot ist.

      Example: You must stop at the traffic lights if they are red.

      dicht auffahren: to tailgate.

      Example: Es ist sehr gefährlich jemandem dicht aufzufahren, weil wenn sie plötzlich stehen bleiben könntest du mit ihnen zusammenstoßen.

      Example: It is very dangerous to tailgate someone because if they stop suddenly you could hit them.

      (ein anderes Auto) überholen: to overtake (another car).

      Example: Wenn du überholst solltest du sehr vorsichtig sein, weil ein Auto könnte von der entgegenkommenden Richtung kommen.

      Example: You should be careful when you overtake in case a car is coming from the opposite direction.

      ein Zusammenstoß/zusammenstoßen: a crash/to crash.

      Example 1: Ich sah einen Zusammenstoß von zwei Autos am Straßenrand.

      Example 1: I saw a car crash on the side of the road.

      Example 2: Das Auto stieß mit einem Baum zusammen.

      Example 2: The car crashed into a tree.

      ein Unfall: an accident.

      Example: Nachts gibt es mehr Unfälle.

      Example: There are more accidents at night.

      (ein Auto) parken: to park (a car).

      Example: Ich parkte mein Auto neben mein Haus.

      Example: I parked my car next to my house.

      Part 2.

      Deutsche sind ok, weil es überall Radarkameras gibt und sie deshalb auf normalen Straßen recht langsam fahren. Jedoch gibt es auf der Autobahn kein Geschwindigkeitslimit, daher musst du vorsichtig sein. Die besten Autofahrer auf der
