An English/German language booklet, teaching beginners how to speak German using only 35 words. Created by Peter and Helena Roberts, this booklet explains the same 35 key words needed to get by for the absolute beginner in any language, including: I want something , I want to buy something , I need to find somewhere , or Thank you . This book not only teaches this core vocabulary but shows how it fits together to create useful grammatical phrases. Despite the apparent simplicity of the concept, the authors spent time in Germany, travelling through the cities and countryside, ensuring that these simple phrases were all that was needed for people to learn, use, and have a great holiday.
