ABSTRACT
One key point about building a vocabulary in German is to be able to connect. In the chapters on building up vocabulary we hope to make this easier for you by listing cognates (words which are very similar in English and German), by linking words within topic areas and by making you aware of some principles of word-formation. This way, you will be able not just to consoli-date your existing vocabulary in key topic areas, but to increase it effectively. Obviously, in this short book we cannot give you all the vocabulary that you may need in an examination, but we can boost your comprehension skills and active usage.
