German books written for Vietnamese learners
German coursebooks are written for speakers of English, Polish and Turkish. Vietnamese learners get stuck elsewhere. The four Frog-Job books explain things in Vietnamese, aimed exactly at those points — from A1 grammar to German on shift.
- Over 5,000 words, 40 chapters A1–B2
- A1 and A2 grammar with a mock exam
- A 774-page dictionary for hotel, restaurant and kitchen work
- Open and read straight after payment

Before you buy
What book buyers ask most
The book is published as an online reading course, not as a file sent by email. Immediately after payment it appears in the student area of your account and can be reopened at any time.
You can read it on a phone, a tablet or a computer; you only need to log in. There is no download and no printing — that is how Frog-Job protects the copyright in the content.
Videos apply to the books marked “With videos” and sit directly in the matching lesson, watched on the website. The access period is set out in the terms.
The book is digital content that opens immediately, so once you have started reading, the right to cancel no longer applies. If you have not opened it at all, message Frog-Job as soon as you can. The full conditions are in the terms.
If you are starting out: A1 grammar first, because without a grammar foundation even vocabulary is hard to turn into sentences. If you have been through A1: the Mein Deutsch vocabulary set lasts longer, because it runs all the way to B2. If you are about to start work or are training in hotels, restaurants or kitchens: the specialist dictionary is the one you will use daily on shift. If you are unsure, ask Frog-Job; there is no charge.
The books sold on this website are online editions. Some other titles by Nam Deutsch have print editions published through Amazon; see the “Print editions on Amazon” section above. Amazon sells and ships them, which suits readers in Germany and Europe.
Not entirely. A book helps you understand and look things up, but nobody corrects your pronunciation or phrasing. Many people use the books to study alone and add a few one-to-one lessons when they need speaking practice.
