Speak German

Speak German est une méthode rapide et efficace pour apprendre à parler couramment l'allemand du quotidien sans avoir besoin d'interlocuteurs. La méthode suppose néanmoins que vous ayez déjà acquis les bases du vocabulaire et de la grammaire Allemande. Durant les premières semaines vous allez entrainer votre cerveau, pendant environ 30 à 40 minutes par jour, à mémororiser les structures et les intonations des phrases allemandes en répetant à haute voix les différentes series d'audios regroupés par thèmes. Lorsque votre cerveau aura construit naturellement les connexions entre les différents éléments du langage, vous serez alors capable dans une seconde étape, de construire vos propres phrases et de converser aléatoirement avec les interlocuteurs proposés par l'application. Ne laissez pas votre esprit essayer de traduire. Habituez-vous chaque jour à mémoriser et à répéter des phrases. Et après quelques semaines vous pourrez naturellement construire vos propres phrases pour exprimer vos idées.
