I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to review this. I received this book along with vol. 3through a Goodreads giveaway. It is excellent! The text is in German, and then keywords are translated after the text, like they would be in a dictionary. I think this volume would be good for people who aren't quite conversationally fluent in German.
