What is Progressive Translation?

• Progressive Translation is a ground-breaking new technique that allows language learners to read beloved classics in an entertaining and non-intimidating way. Many learners get overwhelmed reading classics in another language and give up before they finish the first chapter. Progressive Translation is here to change that.
• This translation starts mostly in English (with some German words carefully placed here and there). As the book unfolds, the translation slowly increases the proportion of German. By the end, the book is almost entirely in German. With this ground-breaking technique, readers can get situated in the plot and get to know the characters in their native language, and then slowly transition into reading in German. You will be so absorbed in reading the plot that you won't even realize you've improved your understanding of German grammar or encountered over 8,000 new German words to add to your vocabulary.
• Der Great Gatsby is not simply a tool for language learners—it has been carefully crafted to be a thing of beauty, preserving the beauty and vigor of Fitzgerald's vibrant original, The Great Gatsby.
