  SAMPLE EXTRACT

"Our experience as language trainers has shown us that the biggest boost to communicating effectively is in the correct use of VERBS - And in particular "MODAL" and "AUXILIARY" verbs.

Hey - don't switch off!

Yes, we know the word "VERBS" is a turn-off and MODAL and AUXILIARY sound even worse! But we PROMISE what follows is quite painless and is the KEY for you to say a lot in German with a minimum of effort

Again - we've done most of the work for you.

Verbs are ACTION words - pretty well every sentence we say has a
verb in it and most sentences have modal or auxiliary verbs too
which - as their names imply - MODIFY and HELP the meaning so that
you can:

SAY A LOT MORE THINGS WITH JUST A FEW MORE WORDS

Here's a reminder of the mini pronunciation guide we gave you in your program.

Pronunciation guide: 1. “CH” in German is pronounced as the “CH”
in the Scottish word “LOCH” - but if you find that difficult you can say a “K” - which is how the Bavarians in Southern Germany pronounce it).

Now look at this English sentence and its German equivalent ...

I EAT CHOCOLATE - ICH ESSE SCHOKOLADE

OK - so it's a statement just saying that you eat chocolate and you
need to learn three words to say it - so what?.
But look at how you can:

MODIFY the meaning of HOW something happens by adding a MODAL VERB

I MUST EAT CHOCOLATE - ICH MUSS SCHOKOLADE ESSEN
I CAN EAT CHOCOLATE
- ICH KANN SCHOKOLADE ESSEN
I MAY EAT CHOCOLATE
- ICH DARF SCHOKOLADE ESSEN
I WANT TO EAT CHOCOLATE
- ICH WILL SCHOKOLADE ESSEN
I LIKE TO EAT CHOCOLATE
- ICH MAG SCHOKOLADE ESSEN

You are saying completely different things by just adding these words
and it looks even easier to say it in German than it does in English!

If you learn MUST, CAN. MAY, WANT TO, LIKE TO in German and if you learn - say - just a DOZEN what we call MAIN VERBS like TO EAT you'll have the basis for saying literally HUNDREDS of things because you'll already have quite a few words from your Fluency Today Self Study Option Program.
