I would highly recommend this book to anyone that likes to know the background of the language and the practical application of the knowledge through conversational speech. It has helped me understand the basic gramatical rules and pronouciations in a way that I was missing studying with my other course. Prior to buying this book I was very slowly learning German through the Rosetta Stone online with little success. After only completing four lessons with this book, I have grown and expanded my knowledge and am definitely clicking now.
sincerely. The book is outstanding. Rodriguez Hector M. I have read many books on German and this is the best; too bad is was not published in better quality paper and with the pictures in color. It would have been worth it.
Price/performance is OK, but the content is outdated.I would recommend to spend a few dollars more if you are seriously interested in learning German.For example:Teach Yourself German (Teach Yourself Complete Courses)
It just needs the help of other books for you to fully understand the language. It is better when you combine it with a few other books to learn German with. It doesn't give you everything you need to learn it but it helps you figure it out eventually.
Don't waste your time on something else. I guess this book will work for a true beginner as well as for a "false beginner" like me who wasted her time on other guides. I strongly recommend this book. By the time I decided to buy this book, I had read a few other books and spent a lot of time trying to teach myself. Buy this one. Then I bought this book, and, Oh God, now I can speak, read, and understand German. Nothing worked. I am very impressed.
