Beschreibung
Forget grammar drills. Fly over Berlin at night while your German gets better.
Forget grammar drills. Fly over Berlin at night while your German gets better. THE STORY: Micha has just moved to Berlin. He reads while he walks, which is why he does not see the tram coming from the wrong direction. The hand that pulls him back belongs to Lila Pechstein, a painter the whole neighbourhood calls crazy. She lives behind a wall on Greifswalder Straße, in a house with a fountain in the middle of the studio, a garden full of scrap metal, and a hedgehog in a glass tank that a girl at school swears is venomous. Micha's father has one rule for surviving in this country: do not stand out. Lila hands Micha an empty notebook and tells him the opposite. And on his first night in her house, she takes him up over the rooftops of Berlin, because flying is only forbidden during the day. WHAT YOU WILL GET OUT OF IT: Written for A2 learners, so you can read a whole novel instead of a paragraph at a time. No sentence in the book is longer than fifteen words, so the story moves and your dictionary stays shut. Narrative past tense throughout, so you absorb the Präteritum the way German readers do, by seeing it a thousand times rather than by memorising a table. Everyday Berlin German: school, family arguments, first love, landlords, jobs. BOOK FEATURES: A complete original novel, not a shortened classic. Difficult words are explained in English at the foot of the page where they appear, so you never have to leave the story to look something up. A full alphabetical German-English glossary at the end. Turn the page and get on the tram!
