Imagine reading “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” in German – and understanding every page

“Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” (in German: “Alice im Wunderland”, orig. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland) by Lewis Caroll – is a complete, engaging story adapted specifically for the A2 (elementary) level. You don’t need to know every word. You understand 95% of the text immediately, and every new word is explained in the margin. You simply read – and learn naturally.

What is this book about?

  • Alice tumbles down a rabbit hole into the fantastical world of Wonderland.
  • She encounters a bizarre cast of characters, including the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter.
  • Alice faces the tyrannical Queen of Hearts in an absurd trial before waking up from her dream.

Why does it work better than apps and textbooks?

Our books are based on the Pentecost Method – the only approach 100% grounded in scientific research on language learning. The result? You learn faster, remember more, and actually enjoy the learning process.

  • Read without interruption: Translations of the most difficult words are found in the margin of each page – you don't have to break away from the story to look them up in a dictionary.
  • Reinforce what you’ve read: After each chapter, there are exercises (crosswords, gap-fills, anagrams) tailored to the A2 level – new words stick in your mind.
  • Learn anywhere: A mobile app with games allows you to review vocabulary on your commute, in line, or whenever you have a moment.
  • Build lasting vocabulary: Flashcards at the end of the book allow you to systematically review the most important words – so you don't forget what you've learned.

Matched to your exact level

The vocabulary in this book has been selected based on an analysis of 2 billion words from authentic texts, precisely matched to the A2 level. You learn exactly the words that are most useful in everyday life.

Plot continuity across chapters keeps me opening the next unit.

simon_b 2025-12-18

One unit fits a commute there and back. Reading plus short drills - realistic.

ivan_j 2025-12-26

At A2 I expect more text per chapter - here it is, without mess.

maya_c 2026-01-07

Short-answer tasks show more than ticking boxes alone.

grace_p 2026-01-13

Sometimes I reread a paragraph because I want to, not because I was beaten by every sentence.
