The Student and the Lesson
Each level of the text is designed to constitute a course of study in the German language. For any level 
selected, each lesson should be read thoroughly and mastered before moving on. Substantial text in 
German is included and the student should read all of it, not once, but multiple times. At Levels II and 
III, complete translations into English are included only in selected places. Most of this text must be 
translated by the student using his or her acquired vocabulary and the vocabulary presented at the 
bottom of each lesson. As the German text is read (preferably out loud), the student must succeed in 
gaining an understanding of the meaning of each sentence, and of the role each word plays in 
establishing that meaning. To the beginner, there will seem to be many words in a German sentence 
that are out of place or even redundant or unnecessary. These add subtleties to the language that will 
make sense eventually. But it is important to experience these subtleties from the very beginning.
