The Paul Noble MethodOver the years, I have taught many, many people. Curiously, they have each had muchthe same story to tell regarding their previous experiences of language learning. As aresult, these days, when I first start a teaching session, I ask my students to raise theirhands if they have had any of the following experiences.Raise your hand, I say: If you studied a language for several years at school but came outunable to really say anything. If you have ever bought a language course and given up around pagethirty, somewhere around chapter two. If you have ever felt more confused by a teacher’s explanation of thelanguage than by the language itself. If you have ever been amazed by just how closely grammar booksresemble furniture assembly instructions. If you have ever felt that you may in fact be more or less incapableof learning a foreign language.Invariably, all the students soon have at least one hand in the air – and they laugh.They laugh because for some reason our language-learning experiences tend to bevery similar and, sadly, these similar experiences tend not to be very good ones.My own initial experiences of language learning were also uncannily similar to thosedescribed above. In fact, when I ask my students these questions, my own hand is thefirst to go up – and it stays up until we have gone through them all.However, these less than positive experiences have had an upside both for myself andfor those individuals I have taught because they, along with a number of other factors,have helped inform and shape the method that will be used during this course.Using this method, you will learn how to communicate in German and how toformulate your own ideas and thoughts using German.5Noble German bklet internals.indd 530/05/2012 18:34

The Paul Noble MethodAs you learn with it, you will quickly discover that I do not use complicated grammaticalexplanations at all, and I will not ask you to memorize long lists of vocabulary – the waythe course is structured will by itself ensure that you remember what you are taught.Instead, through your interaction with the CDs, I will lead you through the Germanlanguage, enabling you to build up complex sentences by yourself, step by step, so thatyou are actually speaking independently in German by the end of the course. And this isregardless of how little, or how much, you know when you begin.You will also discover that the language I teach is designed to be adaptable, so thatyou will be able to use it just as easily for holidaying in a German-speaking country asfor living or working there; it will be just as easy to use it to order a coffee as to hold aconversation with the waiter who brings it to you. And, again, all of this regardless ofhow little, or how much, you know when you begin.At the time of writing, this method has already proved extremely successful with a verygreat many students, including hundreds of so-called “no-hopers”. Interestingly, notone of these students failed to learn using this method. It is these many success cases,letters of thanks – and even the occasional hug – that have made teaching languagesso very worthwhile for me and it is this which has persuaded me to publish my courseswith Collins.I anticipate and hope that this course will be as effective for you as it has been for somany of my other students.Paul NobleHead of the Paul Noble Language Institute6Noble German bklet internals.indd 630/05/2012 18:34

How to use this bookletThis booklet has been designed to provide you with a quick and easy way to reviewand reinforce the key vocabulary, structures and contents of your Paul Noble MethodGerman course.Although the core part of your learning will take place via your use of the accompanyingcourse CDs, we have also included this booklet in order to provide you with a quickreference guide to the language, as well as a way to begin to get to grips with bothreading and writing German, should you wish to do so.It is worth noting that this booklet should be used after you have begun workingthrough the accompanying CDs. It will serve as excellent reinforcement, guidance andreview material but is not designed to teach you German by itself. This is what the CDswill do – and very rapidly too. After you have begun working through the CDs, you willfind this booklet to be an extremely useful review and reference resource but you muststart by listening to the CDs first.So, if you haven’t done so already, go and unwrap CD 1 and get started. You’re about tofind out just how good a course this is!7Noble German bklet internals.indd 730/05/2012 18:34

Core course reviewThe best way to use this part of your booklet is to start by reading through a page,looking at both the English and German. Then go back to the beginning of that samepage and, while covering the German side of the text, translate the English intoGerman – just as you did when you listened to the course CDs.Once you can get 90% of a page’s content correct, move on to the next page andfollow the process again. By doing this, you will quickly recall and reinforce what youlearnt with the CDs.11Noble German bklet internals.indd 1130/05/2012 18:34

The presentNOTE! As you may have noticed above, there is more than one word for “you” inGerman.“Sie” is the formal word for “you” in German. It can be used when talking to one ormore persons and is what you will use when you first meet someone.“Du” is the informal word for “you” and is used with family members, close friends andfor talking to children. English speakers often do not know when it is appropriate to startusing “du” with German speakers. The rule-of-thumb is: don’t use it first! Wait until anative speaker initiates it with you and then it should be alright to use it back.They canCan they?Can they go tonight?They cannot go tonight.No.No, they cannot go tonight.We canWe cannot go tonight.this eveningWe cannot go this evening.Can we?Can we go this evening?Sie könnenKönnen sie?Können sie heute Nacht gehen?Sie können nicht heute Nachtgehen.Nein.Nein, sie können nicht heuteNacht gehen.Wir könnenWir können nicht heute Nachtgehen.heute AbendWir können nicht heute Abendgehen.Können wir?Können wir heute Abendgehen?would likeI would liketo danceI would like to dance.to dance hereI would like to dance here.to drinkIch möchtetanzenIch möchte tanzen.hier tanzenIch möchte hier tanzen.trinken14Noble German bklet internals.indd 1430/05/2012 18:34

The presentNOTE! German has two different words that mean “to go”.“Gehen” means “to go” in a very general sense and will be used most of the time.“Fahren” will be used when you are going to go somewhere that will require you totake a vehicle to get there. So, if you are going to drive, take a train or a plane to gosomewhere, use “fahren”, otherwise, stick with “gehen”.He mustHe must go.to BerlinHe must go to Berlin.to HamburgHe must go to Hamburg.You must (informal)You must go to Hamburg.

A useful T.I.P.Do you remember the useful T.I.P. you were taught during the course? The T.I.P. wasthat, in German, you should always put the Time In-front-of the Place. So, if you havea sentence, like the one above, with both a Time and Place in it, you should keep thisT.I.P. in mind: Time In-front-of Place.You must ( formal)Must you? / Do you have to? ( formal)Do you have to go to Hamburg tomorrowevening? (formal)Do you have to go to Hamburg tomorrownight?

The presentMust they? / Do they have to?EnglandDo they have to go to England tomorrownight?Müssen sie?EnglandMüssen sie morgen Nacht nachEngland fahren?We mustWe must go to England tomorrow night.Wir müssenWir müssen morgen Nacht nachEngland fahren.The present tense without “can”, “must” etcWe will now take a look at the more general present tense in German – the presenttense without “can”, “must” etc. By the end of this quick run-through, you will beable to use the vast majority of verbs in German, in the present tense, with almost nodifficulty whatsoever. JARGON BUSTERWhat is a verb? An easy way to identify a verb is to see if you canput “I”, “he” or “we” directly in front of it. If you can, it is a verb.For example, I go, he eats, we fly, I buy, he thinks, we leave.All the underlined words are verbs; you know this because youcan put “I”, “he” or “we” directly in front of them.The present tense for “you” ( formal ), “we”,and “they”The present tense for “you” ( formal), “we” and “they” in German is incredibly easy.Simply, take a German verb, such as “to camp”:to campcampenNow, simply add either “you” ( formal), “we” or “they” in front of it:You ( formal)You camp / You are camping ( formal)TheyThey camp / They are campingSieSie campenSieSie campen18Noble German bklet internals.indd 1830/05/2012 18:34

The presentWeWe camp / We are campingto drinkYou drink / You are drinking ( formal)WirWir campentrinkenSie trinkenThey drink / They are drinkingWe drink / We are drinkingWe drink beer / We are drinking beer.We drink wine / We are drinking wine.to parkYou park / You are parking ( formal)They park / They are parkingWe park / We are parkingSie trinkenWir trinkenWir trinken Bier.Wir trinken Wein.parkenSie parkenSie parkenWir parkenNOTE! You may wonder why there are always two English translations for each of theGerman sentences above.For instance, “wir parken” is translated as both “we park” and “we are parking”.The simple answer to this is that German speakers have fewer ways of expressingthe present tense than we do in English. So, when an English speaker says “we park”a German speaker will say “wir parken”. But, when an English speaker says “we areparking” a German speaker will still say “wir parken”. So, effectively, you get two tensesfor the price of one!Look at the translation of all the examples here and you will begin to get a feel for howthis works. You will soon discover that in German “we drink beer” and “we are drinkingbeer” are both “wir trinken Bier”, making your trips to the bar even simpler!The present tense for “I”Once you know the present tense for “you” ( formal), “we” and “they”, using “I” in thepresent tense also becomes easy. Again, simply take a German verb, such as “to camp”:to campcampenBut this time chop off the “n” from the end, so that “campen” becomes “campe”.19Noble German bklet internals.indd 1930/05/2012 18:34

The presentNow, simply put the German word for “I” in front of it:I camp / I am campingIch campeTry this with another example:to drinktrinkenAgain, chop off the “n” from the
