This book is designed to help anyone learn German easily and lightly. With just 10 hours of investment, you can learn basic German, from Hallo to conversational German.
How can I learn to speak German in just 10 hours? I'll drastically reduce the amount of studying I do, study only what I can digest, and focus on grasping the core German that I absolutely need to know.
And to avoid getting tired of German while studying grammar, only learn 1-2 grammar points per lesson.
Moreover, the author guides you through learning with free YouTube lectures, so you can easily progress on your own.
Moreover, since I study using words and expressions that I can use in my daily life, there is no time to get bored while studying.
We provide only the two essential materials, example MP3 files and “Native Expressions 50,” excluding all supplementary materials that only add to the burden of learning.
This is the first step to minimalism, containing only the essentials, leaving out everything complicated, burdensome, and boring.

2.
Cut out the frills and focus on the core!
"Emily's 10-Hour German Beginner's Guide" is easy and simple.
This is not an introductory German book that you will learn half-heartedly and end up getting tired of grammar.
It doesn't even cover all the grammar you need to learn.
There are not a ton of words to know.
It is designed to be easy for beginners of German to complete one lesson without any burden.
We minimize the grammar to be learned in one lesson to one or two, and encourage students to learn a variety of words even if they only learn one.
I can reduce the overall learning load and study only what I can digest.
Naturally, unnecessary learning information disappears, allowing you to focus on learning and practicing the core and skeleton of German.
The burden is reduced, concentration increases, and more German remains in my mouth and mind.


3.
With words and expressions that I can use!
"Emily's 10-Hour German Beginner's Guide" pursues the practicality and enjoyment of learning a foreign language.
You can have fun learning German phrases that you can use right away, such as “I absolutely have to wake up early.”, “Do you like tteokbokki?”, and “Is there Wi-Fi here?”
The dialogue was also structured around topics that could be discussed with friends, and subjects that are not actually used frequently were boldly excluded.
Learning German that is connected to my daily life and closely related to my interests can sustain my interest in the language.
