1.0 out of 5 stars Frustrating And Not For The Beginner, June 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: German: With Cassette with CD (Audio) (Travelwise) (Paperback)

I've been learning German for over two years now. Of all the different tools I've used to learn it, this was the worst. This set is not for beginners. It's more in the taste for intermediate-level speakers. You go through different scenes with people that sure don't sound like they're catering to beginning speakers. There's also a relax method in-between different situations which is a waste of time. If you want a good start, try "Just Listen and Learn German," or "Berlitz Basic German." You want people to learn German the correct way, you don't want them to feel frustrated and stupid.
