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 graded reader, specially adapted to the A1 (beginner) 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 just read – and learn naturally.

What is this book about?

  • Alice tumbles down a rabbit hole into the fantastical world of Wonderland.
  • She encounters a bewildering array of eccentric characters, including the White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat, and Mad Hatter.
  • Alice struggles with Wonderland's illogical rules and faces the tyrannical Queen of Hearts.

Why does this work better than apps and textbooks?

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

  • Read without interruption: You'll find translations of the most difficult words in the margin of each page – you don't have to break away from the story to look them up in a dictionary.
  • Consolidate what you've read: After each chapter, there are exercises (crosswords, gap-fills, anagrams) adapted to the A1 level – new words stick in your mind.
  • Learn anywhere: A mobile app with games allows you to review vocabulary on your way to work, in line, or wherever 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 A1 level. You learn exactly the words that are most useful in everyday life.

Where German is spoken

How many people speak it

German has roughly 80–100 million native speakers and well over 100 million people who use it regularly as a second or foreign language, chiefly in Europe.
