Superficial - By: Mme Whitehead, 12 Sep 2008 
I bought this book after I read its reviews but I must say I am very disappointed. The book's pages are more like those foundin children's books, big pictures at full colours & little text. The CD is not easy to follow, as it does not mentions what page is referring to. Overall, this book is very superficial & it doesn't really go anywhere regarding German grammar & pronunciation.
Excellent, but geared towards children - By: T. Irvine, 23 Apr 2008 
This is a very clear & precise start on the road to learning German. It is, however, orientated towards children. The CD is excellent & I would definately recommend it as a starter course.
Brilliant language book. Best ever method for beginners - By: Victoria J. Sanders, 13 Jan 2008 
This really is the best book for beginners & it's a such a fast & fun way to learn the language. It's also brilliant for intermediate students who just want to remind themselves of the basics. I have bought so many of these books for friends, & my private students (the French & Spanish versions too), & they have all found them very helpful & not too heavy going. Everyone learns better with pictures & the onesin the book are amusing & informative. There are so many other books to choose from but this one is by far the best for immediate self learning. Suitable for any age from 4 up to 84!! It really is. If you just want to learn a smattering of German then this is the book to buy. It will teach you so muchin such a short space of time & you can prepare yourself to immerse yourself into the German culture & make good acquaintances right away. Always important to make a good impressionin a country you are visiting, & to learn common courtesies :o)
Realistic method of teaching a language with great cartoons - By: , 19 Feb 2002 This book is fantastic for young & old alike.The text is very comprehensive with a cartoon to back up each little phrase. I love it & for those of us that learn through graphics this is the way to go. I hope there will be a sequel soon too.
A great and encouraging book for young learners! - By: , 13 Mar 2001 A great place to start on the road to learning the German language. As Teachers, teaching Germans to speak English, we are well aware of the problems of motivation & of keeping the aim of the learningin sight. "German for Beginners" is able to solve both these problems by keeping the tasks fun, interesting & at the same time achieving its goal of learning the language.
