Easy To Retain

This book is fabulous for teaching children, and even adults basic German words, phrases, and grammar. My nine year old picked up German easiest using this book. Although I had already known many German phrases, this book explained grammatical structure the best. Better than adult teaching books! I highly recommend this book for teaching the beginnings of German.

The best book ever for beginners

This really is the best book for beginners and it's a such a fast and fun way to learn the language. I have bought so many of these books for friends, and my private students (the French and Spanish versions too), and they have all found them very helpful and not too heavy going. Everyone learns better with pictures and the ones in the book are amusing and 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 much in such a short space of time and you can prepare yourself to immerse yourself into the German culture and make good acquaintances right away. Always important to make a good impression in a country you are visiting, and to learn common courtesies :o)
