CD: some 90's vibes, basic sentences not too difficult, the amount of content per chapter might be a bit difficult to manage for some.

Additionally, for a monolingual English speaker (and even me a Dutch bilingual who understand a lot of the words herein) the words were not easy to repeat - not knowing how the words were spelt or properly pronounced left some ambiguity which is not beneficial in a language book.

Sağlık, yolculuk, yemek, gezinti, yurt dışı gibi konularda en sık kullanılan kalıp cümleleri ve faydası olacak kelimeleri, İngilizce karşılıkları ile veren kısa ama güzel bir kitap. Genelde bazı kelimeler için en basit hallerini veriyor. Cümleler 5 6 kelimeden ibaret ve geneli akılda kalıcı şekilde hazırlanmış. Cümleyi içeriğinden anlamak mümkün. Almanca çalışacaklar için faydalı bir eser.

You're not going to be fluent, but that's not what it promises anyway. I wouldn't use this as the first introduction to German either. It's a nice quick reminder though.

Very useful, fast paced. Gets you ready with the basics. I loved this wonderful CD and book. 1 hour of audio content.

This is.... ambitious for a one-CD curriculum. I don't think it would do much for anyone with no prior German experience; while they introduce some basic vocabulary (numbers, months, hello/goodbye, etc.), a lot of the "phrases" are specific, full-on sentences. I could see that it might be an okay, very quick refresher for someone with a background in German who is feeling a bit rusty. And only has a few hours.

I'll keep saying this - try the Pimsleur CDs instead. Best I've found so far.

Seriously, this is in no way helpful. Granted, my primary learning resource right now is Rosetta Stone - which is so awesome I can't adequately describe it - but this tape is ridiculous. I would only recommend it for someone looking for practice listening to german conversations.

Good review of the German I've already learned and also an introduction to more that I need to learn!
