German as a Second Language

Welcome to „Selberlesen’s Blog“ (read it by yourself)

These books are specially designed for early readers, either for young children or people who learn German as a second language.

The German Language is usually hard to read, as a lot of specified combinations of letters are spoken differently to single letters, e.g.:
„eu“ is spoken like „o-y“
„ei“ is spoken like „a-y“
„ie“ and „ieh“ are spoken like a stretched „y“
„eh“ due to the „h“ the vocal before is stretched

For this reason the serie „selber lesen“ Stufe A (read it yourself, level A)
avoids words with those combinations of letters.
All sentences are limited to one line.

In this way it is much easier to start reading German fluently.
The early readers enjoy the stories as they really understand what they are reading.
