A very good begining

Very useful book. You get the feeling of German in few lessons and allows you a quick advance.

Good way to get an introduction to the language

I recently bought this book with the companion CD's to learn a little German before a move to Switzerland. The book focuses on high German. The lessons are short, and the exercises varied. The CD's provide you a way to listen to the pronounciation of a native speaker and are very helpful. The CD's also include dialogs which you can listen to and then you are asked to take the role of one of the speakers. If you put in the proper effort this book will surely help you learn. Like learning any language however, it is more about how much effort you put into it. This book will give you the lesson plans, and a structured format to learn, all you need to do is commit the time.

Long distance love made easy

Recently my girlfriend moved back to germany and asked my to come visit her and meet her family. I was so nervous because her family did not speak any english. I ordered the book and tapes and within a month I was in Germany impressing her family with my new fluency. No matter what your reason for learning German I think this is a great book.
