German Made Simple: Learn to speak and understand German quickly and easily

Very useful book to get strated in German. I am taking a class where this book and used and it comes very handy. However, I would not use this book to learn German by myself.

IT'S A SIMPLE BUT STRAIGHT TO THE POINT BOOK, IT HAS ALL YOU NEED TO LEARN GERMAN QUICKLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

This series has been around for a long time and they finally got around to an update. It is a good companion the other study methods such as cassettes, CD's or DVD's. No Bad in my opinion!

I've been learning German this semester and it has been sooo hard. This book is far more organized than my college textbooks and so much cheaper. I've had so much anxiety watching my peers fly through the course effortlessly. From the very first chapter of German Made Simple, my German comprehension sky rocketed. I am having a much easier time understanding words and how they're strung together to make sentences.
Definitely add this book to your study material. I bought the Living Language CDs and it was a nightmare. Buy this instead.

When I was in graduate school I had to pass a reading competence test in German. Since then, I have not done much studying in this area. However, recently I decided I wanted to review and practice what I learned and I have been searching for good resources.

After looking at many books and bringing along someone who is fluent in German, I settled on this as one of my primary resources. This book is well-organized, comprehensive and to the point. It also has very good exercises, stories and tips for learning the language. You can buy this book with confidence.

The pace of this book is quick and if you haven't studied German before, you may want to get supplementary resources. However, this text provides an excellent roadmap and you can use other books, tapes and software to support its basic approach.
