Very Fun

I really enjoyed this book. It has great graphics with fun activities to help you learn. Most of the page layouts are big pictures with the German words or phrases pointing to the items they correspond to. There is a word box on each page with the German word and English translation along with how to pronouce the German version. The pronunciation is very helpful if you are not familiar with how the language sounds. It covers rooms in the house, buildings in the city, counting, foods, furniture items, times of the day, some common verbs, colors, etc. It includes games, puzzles, jokes, and some songs to help with the learning and to keep it interesting. It also has a word list at the end of the book with all the words and phrases used in the book. The only negative comment I have is it doesn't include the singular and plural form of each word. Usually it just states the singular. A great book for the biginner.
