Question

Answer 1

I've listed sources from easiest to most difficult.
The easiest is probably at end of level one, beginning of level two. (first year US high school-second year US high school)

At Teachersdiscovery.com there are graded reading books. Arme Anna and the other Blaine Ray books are the easiest. Langenscheidt also publishers short novels, as does EMC, in several different levels based on vocabulary. The children's books by Eric Kaestner (das doppelte Löttchen--the movie Parent Trap was based on it, and Emil and the detectives) are quite good and can be read in simplified and the real thing. After that you might try German Jugendliteratur--youth literature. (5th-8th reading level in German.) Use that search term at Amazon.de, then write down the ISBN number of books that your are interested in. Then google IBIS and e-mail Barbara there. She can get you almost anything you want in German without the insane shipping and handling Amazon charges from Germany.

Answer 2

Depends on how good your German is & what kind of books you like really

If I were you, I'd get a German copy of a book that you've already read in English - you'll understand it alot easier then.

The first book I read in German was "Nicht Ohne Meine Tochter" (Not Without My Daughter) by Betty Mahmoody.

It's a true story about an American woman who marries an Iranian. They have a daughter & a few years later, he tricks her into going to Iran & refuses to let her go back to the states. The story is about how she flees Iran. It's absolutely fantastic & there's a film too (although I thought the film was terrible in comparison to the book).

Answer 3

I'd seriously recommend just taking a course. I've studied various languages (which includes German). I personally found even children's books too hard to understand to start with.
You need to get the basic knowledge before you can start to read and write in any second language. I found just listening to a lot of the target language at first helps me immensely. You learn to get a feel for each word, or sentence if it is used repeatedly, even if you don't know what the word or sentence truly means. You tend to pick up meanings later. Getting comfortable with a word or sentence is what you aim for to start. I'd aim for at least 6-8 hours a week of contact lessons in the target language, and just as many hours of study by yourself. Good luck!

Answer 4

It depends on what language you know. If you know some of the German languages like Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian or Danish it would not be too hard to read German.
Look for some books for children to begin with.

Answer 5

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie...in German of course. It's a kid book but not complicated to understand

You could also try to get books, that have been edited for learners or that are written in both English and German (e.g. from the German publisher dtv: zweisprachige Bücher)
