5.0 out of 5 stars The right step..., March 3, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: German Conversation Demystified with Two Audio CDs (Paperback)
German Conversation DeMystified is a perfect companion to Ed Swick's grammar book: German Demystified. I would recommend you purchase the grammar book first, study it for half a year, and then buy this book, because grammar is only reviewed here - it is not explained in great detail. The first book takes care of that. That said, this book is designed to help you "get around" situations you will encounter while visiting Germany: shopping, dining out, traveling by train, etc. It has one or two silly examples (help with a broken-down car?????), but the useful exercises far outweigh the needless ones. Don't expect this book to transform you into a fluently speaking German native. It won't. That takes years of practice. Swick's book teaches the basics of "spoken" German sentence structure.

The 2 CDs are very helpful. I ripped them onto my desktop and play them over and over to test my comprehension skills. You can supplement your learning with this free online website: Forvo.com. It is a language website that stores thousands of spoken German words.

Viel Spaß!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, November 21, 2010

This review is from: German Conversation Demystified with Two Audio CDs (Paperback)
My knowledge of the German language is pretty basic and this book is great. The book takes you from the very basics to day to day conversations that you'll listen from native speakers. If you are teaching yourself, this book is fantastic to start with!
