The textbook is intended for first and second year students of correspondence universities continuing to study the German language. Although the textbook is designed for students who have previously studied the language, the authors took into account that many part-time students have a significant break in language classes. Therefore, the textbook contains both a short phonetic introduction and a systematic reference book, which make it possible to repeat and systematize what is forgotten, as well as learn new material that was not studied in high school.
