Learn German with Surefire German.
WEBSITE: Surefire German.
Surefire German is the perfect addition to any other program or course you might be already taking. It not only provides you with the 1000 most commonly used German words, but also provides books on how to strengthen your memory in general which can help you with your other courses or even in everyday life. The German vocabulary is presented in the form of 2 different games, which is a good way to keep you interested. These games simply allow you to use your minds own natural mental picture system to cement German translations into your memory.
The entire course is made up of 5 parts.The first being a book on “German Link Words”, which helps to accelerate your comprehension of fundamental German words. Next is a downloadable German word game. This game allows you to match up to 25 random pairs of German and English phrases, which is generated from a database of the 1000 most commonly used words. Next up is a flashcard program. This is a great addition, as burning vocab in to your mind is a terrible task if you have to face it alone with a piece of paper and a dictionary, I know this from my own experience. Flashcards are known to be the most widely used learning aid and with this program you will only need to spend around 15 minutes a day to start seeing results.
The last two parts of the course are not specifically based on learning German, however they are more based on learning how to learn and memorize more successfully. This is a must if you are new to learning a language, as it details techniques that could otherwise take you years to figure out. These two parts come in the form of a book and a memory game. The book details ways to learn special “memory forming” techniques. The software will allow you to then take the techniques from the book and start applying them directly.
This course focuses mostly on vocabulary and memory techniques so I would suggest using it in addition to another course you may be taking. With its low price of just $37, I think it is of great value to your studies.
