A more "relaxed" course - By: C. Clark, 19 Mar 2008 
By more relaxed, I mean "familiar". I am using both Willkommen & Deutsch Plus (on two separate, but concurrent, courses). For those that don't know, there is a "familiar" & "polite" form of address & Willkommen makes those differences known & uses both forms more than D.Plus. D.Plus is skewed more towards the "polite" (business) form of address. Both are good courses & both come with CD's.
With Willkommen, you will spend a long time per chapter on one subject (meeting & greeting, where do you live work etc) whereas D.Plus gets into a pattern of two pages & onto the next subject.
It would depend on what style of learning you like. If you are going to study using just one book/CD, I'd probably pick Willkommen. If you intend learn at your own pace by reading other German study aids, go for D.Plus.
IT WORKS and IT S FUN TO USE - By: Bernard M. Abel, 19 Dec 2006 A lot of negatives comments have been said about the "willkommen" german course for beginners and. I must say I totally disagree wit them.
I bought myself this complete pack.. [CD, support book & main textbook.] & give it a try .. & I love the way it works.
It simply follow a common sense evidence:
When you learned to speak your mothertongue. you did not start by cramming your head with grammar ..
Well, this course does the same..
mainly . you listen,. you read, you repeat, you make senses of what you read or repeat & instead of learning by heart, you UNDERSTAND ...
Yes, there s some grammarin the course,and yes, it does give you plenty of exercises to practice & see how well you re doing.
The main textbook is 256 pagesin full colour, with a good choice of learning material, the CDs are clearly recorded, & the support book gives you all the keys to the exercises, ideal for self study.
Honestly at that price ... this is a Great value for money,. specially for the course which is really a good course for beginners.
