No guessing. No dictionary. Just reading.
Continue German with Entscheidungen, the fourth book in the Deutsch lesen ohne zu raten series - an interlinear-style bilingual reader for learners moving into confident A2.2 reading.
Follow Lukas as he faces a life-changing job offer from Berlin, remembers his childhood in Dresden, grows closer to Sophie in Munich, and learns how to choose between ambition, stability, friendship, and love.
This book uses interlinear reading: English meanings appear above or alongside the German words, so you can understand the story while staying inside the sentence.
Instead of stopping to guess, search a glossary, or lose your place, you read with support exactly where you need it. The result is smoother reading, stronger memory, and more enjoyment.
First, read with full support.
Then read the same story again in clean German only. This dual format helps you build comprehension first and fluency second.
Across 12 chapters, you will read about memories, work, family, relationships, advice, city life, and important decisions. The story develops naturally while the language grows with you.
- 12 story chapters with interlinear German-English support
- German-only versions for second-read fluency practice
- Comprehension questions in Goethe/telc-style formats
- Vocabulary exercises, useful expressions, and writing tasks
- Answer keys so you can check your work immediately
This level completes A2 and prepares you for more independent German reading. You meet grammar in context, not as isolated rules.
- Präteritum for sein, haben, and modal verbs: war, hatte, konnte, musste, wollte
- Perfekt vs. Präteritum in simple storytelling
- Konjunktiv II with würde for advice and hypotheticals
- Reflexive verbs: sich erinnern, sich freuen, sich verlieben
- Comparatives, wenn-clauses, obligation, future plans, and emotional expression
Lukas is a 24-year-old graphic designer living in Munich. When a prestigious Berlin agency offers him a better job, he must decide what success really means.
Along the way, you will meet Sophie, Herr Weber, Thomas, Anna and Markus, Opa Heinrich in Dresden, Lena from Hamburg, and Minka, Lukas's loyal gray cat.
Because these characters return throughout the book, vocabulary appears again and again in meaningful situations.
Perfect For Learners Who Want To- Read German without constantly checking a dictionary
- Move from A2.1 into stronger A2.2 comprehension
- Prepare for Goethe-Zertifikat A2 / telc A2 / ÖSD A2
- Understand past-tense stories, advice, feelings, and decisions
- Build confidence before beginning B1-level German
This book belongs to a 12-level graded reader path from A1.1 to C2.2. The series gradually increases vocabulary, sentence length, grammar, and story depth as your German grows stronger.
It can also be combined with Pronounce German Without Guessing / Deutsch aussprechen ohne zu raten and German Vocabulary Builder / Deutscher Wortschatztrainer for pronunciation and vocabulary growth.
Begin Your Journey of DecisionsBist du bereit für wichtige Entscheidungen?
Travel with Lukas through Munich, Dresden, and Berlin. Remember the past, imagine the future, and learn German through a story with support at every step.
No guessing. No dictionary. Just reading - and real German progress.
