I'm a college student using this text, lab manual, and audio CD accompnaiment. I had taken German previously, but the text was difficult to understand and the layout didn't seem to make sense. This book teaches the German language in a layout that makes the learning process flow more smoothly. Each topic builds on the last, and the exercises are challenging yet excellent practice for what was learned. The text not only teaches vocabulary and grammar, but also the German culture and day-to-day German life. The Audio accompniment is an excellent addition to the text because it helps you build on your listening skills and actually hear the correct pronunciation of the words you've learned by many different voices, so you're not hearing one voice repetitively.

I ordered Fokus Deutsch: Beginning German 1 (Student Edition + Listening Comprehension Audio CD) three weeks before Christmas as a gift. It arrived damaged on Christmas eve without the CD. I contacted the seller about the missing CD and have yet to hear back from them regarding how they intend to resolve the issue.
