How To Learn With Part B

Question and Answer Part

This technique is very effective to store new information (the words, pronunciation, structure etc.) in your brain.
Don't be afraid of part B. I use the same words as in part A.

Read and listen a few times to the questions and answers.

1. Answer the questions in the pauses (you may look also at the answers).
2. After a few times don't look at the answers anymore.
3. Make sure that you imitate the pronunciation of the speaker.
4. Repeat the lesson until you can answer the questions easily.
5. Sign up to my e-mail course and learn how to use the storytelling method (TPRS method) in order to learn to speak German fluently.

Always learn in small steps. Don’t go on to the next lesson until you have done at least three repetitions. You should be able to answer correctly before the recorded speaker.
