A quick and easy introduction to the German language.

My kid picked it up and started reviewing it on her own which says volumes about the accessibility and presentation of the materials. Not only are the words defined but there is a brief sentence included which demostrates the grammatical usage of the word.

The only real shortcoming is the lack of a pronunciation key. The failure to include this important aspect of language training is the reason I gave this product review 3 stars.

Overall this is a good beginner book for identifying the basic written German translations of many common everyday items. Those looking for more advanced help in the area of speech, pronunciation and diction should definitely look elsewhere.

I like this book because it has both the German and the English. Basically, it presents a German word (with English just below) and a sentence using the word in German (with the English below). Also, there's a cute little picture that goes with each word (in most cases). The words that don't have pictures refer to a picture page (like a clothing store) where a bunch of items (such as different articles of clothing) are labeled.

But, my son is 3.5 yrs old and i think he likes a story. Still, i try to read this book regularly and i can get him to come over to look at the animals in the pictures. It helps my review of German, too. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has rudimentary German.

As a native speaker I like the phrases they included to explain some of the words. I'd have loved to see more of those informative theme-pages. Pronounciation guide is missing though. All over a good, average dictionary.

Berlitz Kid's German Picture Dictionary (Berlitz Picture Dictionaries)
This is way more than just a picture dictionary. It will really teach the language at the beginners level because it uses phrases with the pictures, not just one word. I liked it so much I ordered the Spanish version for me--the German version was to help my grandson just get an "ear" for German. I'd recommend it to anyone, especially those learning the language (including adults).

I am really pleased with this picture dictionary. I like the fact they include the word in a sentence, very helpful. My kids really like it too.

My son wanted to learn German and I purchased this dictionary and an "Italian for Children" cd set. The cd set was for a much younger child (he is 12) but he enjoyed going through the dictionary and learning the words and pronunciation on his own. This dictionary helped his learn some basic words, while I find another program for him to use that has an audio.

I bought this sweet book for my toddler but when we received the bock I was a lil bummed. Its more for kindergarten- age..the images are just to small for toddlers to understand the meaning of the words. Still a great book tho, we'll just keep it till its the right time for my little one.

Bought this as a gift, the book came in mint condition. The book has very cute colorful illustrations, and includes each word in a sentence. Excellent for someone wanting to brush up on German, or teach their young one German!

I really like this book, the only problem I have is I wish it came the phonics info for for this and this letter make this sound.
