DESCRIPTION:
"skip this one!" according to tjpawleys. This audio-only porgram is not worth the price. Many of the pronunciations are complicated and with no text to double check, very difficult to learn. Many of the lessons are pedestrian at best. This guide isn't even as relevant as many tourist-based guides. Skip this one there has to be something much better out there.. Excellent Introduction to Colloquial German Great language course for the price! I own several German audio courses, manuals and grammar books. This one is definitely one of my favorites. It is very compact - only 3 CD's. The text, with all the dialogues and vocabulary, can be easily downloaded and printed from the publisher's website. I did it myself. The course targets the basic everyday vocabulary and grammar. Specifically, it teaches the three cases of nouns ( Nominative, Dative, Accusative) as the forth - Genitive is not used in spoken lang. NICE PRODUCTION It would be good to HEAR FROM OTHER BEGINNERS.The word "complicated" is grossly unfair.As a "German Freak" most consider me fluent.I have a massive collection of German audio.In all modesty, I evaluate pronunciations.1. Nice program well worth the price.2. Good pronounciations throughout.3. No "better" alternatives cited.Is below reviewer down on what he or she is not up on?Has to be something better? Well - none were named.=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-BELOW IS WHAT I AM RESPONDING TO=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
