1,000 Words of German for Travel and Work: The Essential German Vocabulary with Simple Pronunciation, Example Sentences, and False-Friend Alerts — for ... and Professionals (Coleção 1000 Palavras)

The 1,000 German words you'll actually use — nothing you won't. Heading to Germany, Austria, or Switzerland? Working with German-speaking colleagues or clients? You don't need years of grammar to make yourself understood. You need the right words — and this book puts 1,000 of them right in your pocket. Built for real life, not the classroom Every word was chosen because it comes up when you travel and work: at the airport, the hotel, the restaurant, the train station, the office, the shops, and in everyday conversation. Arranged simply from A to Z, so you can find what you need in seconds. What you get with every single word The German word and its English meaning — clear and direct. A simple pronunciation written for English speakers — just read it out loud, with the stressed syllable in CAPITALS. (danke becomes "DAHN-kuh," Flughafen becomes "FLOOK-hah-fun.") An example sentence that shows the word in a real situation, with the English right beside it. A helpful note whenever it matters — a tricky sound, a useful related word, or a cultural tip. Watch out for the false friends! German is full of words that look English but mean something completely different — and this book flags the most dangerous traps so they never catch you: A Gift is not a present — it's poison! To bekommen something is to get it, not to become. Your Chef is your boss, not a cook. A Handy is a cellphone, and also means so / therefore. Master the sounds that trip everyone up The guide up front walks you through the sounds English doesn't have — the two flavors of "ch," the umlauts ü / ö / ä, and the letters that swap sounds (w = "v," v = "f," z = "ts"). Once you get these, German pronunciation clicks. Also inside A Mini Survival Guide with ready-to-use sentences for the airport, hotel, restaurant, and more. Clear tips for the moments when you don't understand — and need to ask. No grammar to cram. No endless lists. Just the 1,000 words that make the difference.
