How to use your German Course Book 

 

This article is about "Schritte International Neu 1". 

In case you find your book confusing, don't worry. You are not alone and will have the hang of it in no time. The tricky bit is, that the book has three parts to it. Each section starts with page number 1.

 

The three sections of the book:

1. Textbook or "Kursbuch": 
This is the part, that we will cover in class. It is the beginning of the book and is divided into chapters or "Lektionen".
 

2. Workbook or "Arbeitsbuch" (AB): 
Pages with a dotted stripe towards the end of the book. Some exercises will require you to listen to an audio file. These files are included on the CD in the back of the book.
Alternatively, you can download the audio files here.
 

3. Vocabulary or "Lernwortschatz" (LWS): 
This is the vocab list at the end of the book. These pages also have a dotted line.

 

Extras and Downloads

 
CD:
The CD included in your book contains all Audio files you need for completing the "Arbeitsbuch" or workbook part of the course book. It does not contain the audio files needed for the parts we cover in class (Kursbuch).

Audio files:
All files are available for download from the publisher's website.
Kursbuch = course book
