(4.0) has helped, was integral to community college course I took. Currently distilling key grammar into an easier to reference form for me.

This was my textbook for German I and II at Indian River State College. I had the 6th Edition, which features largely needless changes from the 5th Edition that most of my classmates had. It was okay as a textbook, but would be pretty much worthless outside a classroom setting due to insufficient explanation within the book itself. The order in which material is presented also seems rather odd. For example, telling time is not until Chapter 4 despite being both important and very simple!

What good is a language learning resource if it makes constant reference to "the teacher's pronunciation"? No pronunciation guides have been included whatsoever.

A textbook is a waste of time if it doesn't, in fact, contain any information in it.

This is an Amazing book for learning German. I have never used a book that's done a better job.

Reviewing this book because I start German 311 soon and I am so out of practice it is pitiful.
