Choosing a book
Which book to start with
Everyone is at a different stage. The three suggestions below start with the most common case.
A1 grammar first
Without a grammar base, it is hard to turn vocabulary into sentences. The A1 book explains in Vietnamese and includes answers so you can check yourself.
Mein Deutsch for the long run
The vocabulary goes all the way from A1 to B2, so one book lasts you many years of study. It comes with video lessons.
Specialist dictionary
A1–B2 books don't teach the words you hear on shift. The dictionary is organised by Front Office, Restaurant and Kitchen, and every entry has IPA pronunciation.

Before you buy
What book buyers ask most
Don't see your question? Add it to your consultation request and Frog-Job will answer free of charge.
What format is the book, and how do I receive it?
The books are published as online reading courses, not as files sent by email. Right after payment, they appear in your account and you can open them again at any time. You log in on the account page.
Can I read it on a phone? Can I print it?
You can read on your phone, tablet and computer; just log in. The books can't be downloaded or printed. This is how Frog-Job protects the copyright of its content.
Which books have videos, and where do I watch them?
At the moment, only the Mein Deutsch vocabulary book has video lessons. The videos sit right inside the matching lesson and play on the website. How long access lasts is set out in the terms and conditions.
Can I change my mind after buying?
The books are digital content that opens immediately, so once you start reading, the right of withdrawal no longer applies. If you haven't opened a book yet, message Frog-Job as soon as possible. The full conditions are in the terms and conditions.
Is there a print edition?
The books sold on the website are online editions. Some other titles by Nam Deutsch are available in print through Amazon; see the “Bookshelf on Amazon” section above. Amazon sells and ships the printed books, which suits readers in Germany and Europe.
Can a book replace a class?
Not entirely. The books help you understand and look things up, but nobody corrects your pronunciation or the way you phrase things. Many people study on their own with the books and, for speaking practice, add a few one-to-one lessons.
Do the prices include tax?
The prices on this page are final prices in VND, including taxes under Vietnamese law. Your bank may charge an extra currency conversion fee.
