Never pay for German ebooks again! If you have a Kindle e-reader or the Kindle app on your smartphone or tablet, you can use them to learn German or any foreign language for that matter. But did you know there are hundreds of thousands of titles you can download for free, completely legal? Well, you’ve come to the right place. Below, I’ll show you how you can get tons of free German books for your Kindle! While these days there are many high quality multimedia materials designed to help you learn German, there is nothing as powerful as letting worlds come alive in your mind by reading in the language you wish to learn. The beauty of this no-frills but highly effective approach is that after overcoming the initial hurdle of seeing foreign garble, the unfamiliarity aspect tends to fade into the background and - as a reviewer of one of my Kindle detective stories for German learners once put it - you forget you were "supposed to be learning".  C​ontent h​as been g enerat ed wi​th GSA Con᠎tent G᠎enerator Demover sion!


Stories are a great way to learn languages. They literally change our brain. Learning German grammar can be tedious sometimes, you can only do so many conjugation and declension exercises before eyes glaze over and learning becomes a chore. Why not use your Kindle to learn German with some entertaining stories? Note: You don’t actually need a physical Kindle device to download and enjoy free German Kindle books. Amazon offers a variety of different apps which allow you to enjoy these books on your smartphone, tablet or desktop. Ever wanted to read Nietzsche, Kafka, or Heinrich Heine in the German original? Well … now you can, and you don’t even have to pay a dime! Many literary classics are available both as paid and as free Kindle books in German. Where’s the difference between paid and free German Kindle classics? When it comes to the text itself, there are usually no differences. To find the free German Kindle editions of literary classics, head on over to the Amazon section titled Große Werke der der Weltliteratur (great works of world literature) or free short German Kindle classics section.

You can find anything here from German translations of English and American classics to works of Nietzsche and more. Note: If you are only at the beginning of your German learning journey, these books might be too difficult for you. While there are great differences of difficulty between the language of Kafka and Goethe for example, the former being much more accessible than the latter, I’d recommend to acquire at least intermediate proficiency before trying to use these classic free Kindle books to learn German. Literary classics aren’t your thing? No problem, there are tons of free contemporary titles available for free every day. To find these free Kindle offers head on over to the Amazon Kindle Best Sellers List. There you will see both paid titles (Top 100) and free titles (Top 100 gratis) from a variety of genres. In order to access free Kindle books in German click on Top 100 gratis. By clicking on the categories on the far left side, you can browse through every possible sub-genre from financial guide books to science fiction, zombie slayer and romance ebooks, all free Kindle books in German.

There are even comics, graphic novels and mangas. Goethe’s Faust: as you can see the .de in your browser’s address bar indicates that we’re on the German Amazon. To change that, simply mark or highlight the DE part of the address as shown in the screenshot.. … replace it with COM and hit Enter on your keyboard. Having experienced the power of storytelling in foreign language learning first-hand, I’ve written a number of short stories designed as stepping-stones towards learning German with literary classics and contemporary literature. While these books are not permanently free, I try to make them as affordable as possible and also regularly give away free German Kindle books through my newsletter.
