The Practice & Improve language programs are a specially designed series that allows you to capitalize on the foreign language skills you already have to develop your ability to communicate in everyday situations.



Designed for relaxed and repeated listening, each Practice & Improve program concentrates on realistic, spoken language through the use of four 60-minute cassette tapes. These tapes feature authentic German, in stereo, spoken at a natural pace and rhythm by native speakers - just as you would encounter it in Germany or wherever German is spoken. Each scene is interspersed with music and short practice sections that highlight useful language points.



Two books are also included to aid your language learning: a Listening Guide containing a complete transcript of the cassette recordings and a Handbook offering instruction on vocabulary and grammar. Both books supplement the program's main activity - listening.



In the continuing episodes of this Program, you will hear the story of Martin Winter's surprise move from Hamburg to Zürich and of his professional, social, and private life. The idea is to relax, listen to the story, share Martin's experiences and, in the process, absorb new language and structures naturally.



As you listen along to Martin Winter's personal adventures, you will also be brushing up on your basic German-language skills: making new acquaintances; ordering meals; agreeing and disagreeing; describing people, objects, and activities; making appointments; writing a business or personal letter - to name a few.
