German for Beginners. Self-Study Guide from Scratch

«German for Beginners. Self-Study Guide from Scratch» — is a self-study guide for basic mastery of the German language from the very first steps. Sergey Matveev has structured the material so that it can be studied independently: sequentially, without overload, and with clear explanations. The manual is designed for those who are starting from scratch and want to understand not only words but also the basic grammatical rules right away. This format is convenient for regular lessons, reviewing what has been learned, and gradually transitioning from getting acquainted with the language to a confident foundation for reading, understanding, and simple communication.

The course is based on the vocabulary and grammar of the German language at the beginner level. The material progresses gradually: from simple topics to more complex ones, without abrupt jumps and unnecessary theory. It includes visual examples and tables that simplify memorization and help to see how the rules work in practice more quickly. Special attention is given to phonetics, reading, and basic models of everyday communication.

The self-study guide is part of the «Self-Study Guides from Scratch» series and is designed as a step-by-step guide for independent work. There is no assumption of prior preparation: the course is suitable for first acquaintance with the German language and for reviewing already known basics.
