    About this ebook

    The Rosetta Stone Challenge has been designed to take those difficult parts out and simplify what's left to give you the most important parts of the language so you can get to communicating quickly and easily.

    The purpose of this book is not to teach you the German language, but to introduce you to it. By learning German through the use of cognates with English and a simplification of grammar, you will have a head start before you go on to formal language learning through classes or other means. By the time you finish this book, you will have a clearer understanding of German and be ready to tackle any lesson materials.
