 Great supplement for other programs! December 12, 2008
I have a foreign exchange student from Germany this year and I wanted to learn German. I bought this book because I was using Rosetta Stone and getting frustrated with not understanding WHY things were the way they were and my German son couldn't explain it to me in a way that made sense to me. This book does an excellent job of explaining the rules of grammar and the different cases in German and explaining it in a way that is easy to understand without treating me like an idiot. I wouldn't use this book alone as my only source for learning German because pronunciation is difficult to get from a book but as a supplement to another audio program it is a great tool.

Excellent book. Taking private lessions in German in Basel Switzerland. Book clarifys much that is not said in lessons in clear easily remembered text. Will continue to be a great reference book in my library.
 Not well Organized June 10, 2008

This book has good information, but is not well organized. Other books will build you up to a basic understanding of the language and its structure prior to the nuts and bolts of the language. This book does a little of both in a disorganized way!
German Beginners,
Skip this book and go for something else.
 A great buy February 9, 2008
I am really pleased with this book. I have a friend who speaks German, and I have had the opportunity to use some of what I have learned with them. The book does more than just give you the words to memorize, it provides details such as the formal way of saying things as well as the casual context. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning the language.

As someone who just recently started taking German classes, this book has been proven to be an invaluable resource. The author writes in a friendly, easy-to-understand manner, and the book is well-organized. I especially found the pronunciation guide to be one of the better ones I've come across.
