About Niemieckie czytanki
German Reading Books is a book to be read and listened to—not another set of "insert the ending" exercises.
Marek Kowalski, an electrician from Poznań, arrives in Hamburg with one suitcase and his German from school. He looks for a room, starts working on a construction site, goes to the office and sees a doctor, starts his own company, argues about the rent, and after three years decides whether to stay. You learn along with him—from a text where grammar just happens, instead of being stuck in a table.
WHAT YOU GET
• 36 chapters in three volumes—the level increases with the story: A2, B1, B2
• 3,489 sentences, each recorded by a voice-over artist and translated into Polish
• 5,208 recordings: the main character's lines are read by a male voice, the rest by a female voice, so the dialogues sound like a conversation, not a list of sentences
• 109 readings and 36 dialogues, and in Volume III, also reports, columns, interviews, and open letters—texts like the ones Germans actually read
• 1,704 vocabulary entries in boxes plus a comprehensive dictionary with a level filter
• 73 illustrations, including 37 scenes where you click on an item and hear its name
• 215 questions in 36 quizzes—testing text comprehension, not memorizing endings
• Practical texts you really need in Germany: a lease agreement, a letter from the government, a sick leave certificate, a termination notice, an electricity bill, a salary raise Rent
HOW TO USE IT
You touch a sentence—you hear it. Activate audiobook mode, and the book reads itself, highlighting the sentence and scrolling the page behind you. You can show and hide the Polish translation with a single button, so you first guess, then check. Click on an unknown word in the text and immediately understand its meaning.
THREE CHAPTERS FOR FREE
The first three chapters of Volume I are open—with full narration, translation, and illustrations, without creating an account. Only when you see that this learning method suits you do you unlock the rest.
ONE PAYMENT, NO SUBSCRIPTION
The entire book costs €30 one-time. There's no subscription to remember to cancel. The purchase is linked to your account, so it works on any of your devices—including your computer's browser.
FOR WHOM?
For people working in Germany and those traveling there. For anyone who has completed the textbook to B1 level and still doesn't understand the newspaper article. We assume you know the basics—this isn't a complete course.
WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED
We don't conduct classes, grade assignments, monitor progress, or issue certificates. This is self-study material. Our course at ustawglowie.pl teaches grammar from scratch—the readings are a supplement to it, not a replacement.
German readings are part of the "in your head" family—language learning courses and books for Poles working abroad.
