Learn Real German for Nurses A1–A2 – First Steps

Start German from zero, with the words you will need on a German ward.

This book follows Anjali, a nurse from Kerala, from her first German lesson in Kochi to her first weeks of observation days on a hospital ward in Cologne. Everything she learns, you learn with her: greetings and numbers, your family and your work, drinks and meals, shifts and dates, pain and medication questions, morning care, the ward phone and calling for help. Every explanation is in English.
