German: A Self-Teaching Guide
Combines the quick-reference virtues of a phrasebook with the in-depth information found in a full-scale language course. Zeroes in on the topics, words, and phrases used in everyday conversations and travel. Full of special drills and exercises to reinforce new material, self-tests to measure progress, and exercises to help readers practice the skills they've just learned. Culture Notes in each chapter provide insight into German art, literature, and history as well as practical ``survival tips'' on everything from finding overnight accomodations to dealing with a sudden medical emergency.
