Deutsch Perfekt Weiter Wie Fruher
Deutsch Perfekt Weiter Wie Fruher is an issue of Deutsch Perfekt devoted to how things were — ‘weiter wie früher’, onward as before: German life then and now, told in the magazine’s learner-friendly German.
Its theme is continuity and change in the German-speaking world: trades and customs that survived, streets and shops with long memories, generations in one family, the habits a country keeps while everything around them modernises — read in clear, graded German with the support the magazine builds into every page.
It is written for learners of German from A2 to C1 who read to learn: each article teaches the language and the land together, vocabulary glossed as you go, so an hour with the issue is an hour of German — and of Germany.
Themed issues are where magazines become books, and this one’s theme — the persistence of the old inside the new — is endlessly German. Its articles move between then and now: craftspeople practising trades their grandparents taught them, neighbourhood institutions that outlived empires and apps alike, family businesses in their fifth generation, and the everyday objects and routines that refused to become obsolete. For learners the format is the finest reading training there is: authentic subjects at a graded level, glossaries in the margin of the page, exercises that check comprehension without breaking the spell of reading. It suits the train, the waiting room, and the evening hour — self-contained, finishable, and quietly educational in two subjects at once. Teachers value such issues for reading lessons that start conversations; self-learners value them because the month you read about Germany in German, Germany stops being a textbook country.

About This Issue
Deutsch Perfekt’s formula — real Germany, learner’s German — meets a nostalgia-proof subject: not ‘everything was better’, but ‘look what endured’. This issue collects the magazine’s reporting on continuity: the old trades, old places and old habits still at work inside a thoroughly modern country.
What Readers Will Find
Then and Now in German Life
Features on what survived: workshops, markets, cafés, crafts and customs carried across generations — each story a small history of the German-speaking present told through its longest threads.
Language Support Throughout
The magazine’s learner apparatus is on every spread: glossed vocabulary, explanations of idioms and cultural references, and comprehension exercises — the scaffolding that lets an A2–B2 reader read real journalism, not a graded imitation of it.
Exercises and Service Pages
Reading is consolidated the Deutsch Perfekt way: short tests, grammar in context, and the service material that turns an issue from a read into a lesson — usable alone at home or whole in a classroom hour.
Key Features
The theme is the feature: one question — what continues? — explored across society, giving the issue a book’s unity. The grading is the second, authentic content at learner level, and the glossaries the third: no dictionary ever interrupts the reading.
Who This Issue Is For
It is for learners of German from A2 to C1 building a reading habit, teachers sourcing Landeskunde lessons, expatriates and newcomers decoding the country they live in, and anyone who loves the old inside the new — in Germany or anywhere.
How to Use This Issue
Read one article a day with a pencil: mark the glossed words you want to keep, do the exercises after (not during) each piece, and reread the week’s first article on the seventh day — the ease of the second reading is the progress you can feel. Teachers can lift a single feature for a full lesson: prediction from the photos, reading, exercises, and a closing round of ‘what endured in your country?’
