Exciting story with the most famous fictional detective of all-time. Dive into the Victorian era and listen to the unforgettable dialogues between Holmes and Watson.
Some of the most famous quotations are:
“Excellent!” I cried. “Elementary,” said he. - “Hervorragend!” rief ich. “Elementar,” sagte er.You know my methods, Watson. – Sie kennen meine Methoden Watson.
When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. – Wenn Sie das Unmögliche asugeschlossen haben, was auch immer übrigbleibt, sei es noch so unwahrscheinlich, muss die Wahrheit sein.
Feel the atmosphere of Baker Street!
Your advantages:
- The original text and the literary translation are placed in parallel vertical columns side by side.
- Therefore you can check almost instantly whether you understand or not. This is ideal to increase your vocabulary significantly very fast.
- So you can truly enjoy the story since you need only a split second to check the translation.
- The German translation is very close to the English original. This makes understanding simple and lookup of difficult words fast.
- The book has a vocabulary of about 1800 words. The language level is very high, but even beginners can read the books because of the parallel text alignment.
Extensive reading and learning German with parallel texts: Why?
Extensive reading means reading a lot in a foreign language. It is not important to understand every word. You just continue to read in order to find out what happens next. The pleasure of reading is really what increases language abilities. Kato Lomb was a Hungarian interpreter who spoke several languages fluently. She described in her book “How I Learn Languages” how she used extensive reading to increase her vocabulary fast.
The American linguist Stephen Krashen has said that free voluntary reading is “the most powerful tool we have in language education”.
