I needed to buy the "Berlitz German Phrae Book and Dictionary" for a German For The Traveler class I am taking. I luckily searched Google for it and found that the book alone would cost $9, but the book AND CD was also available for only a dollar more through Amazon. So I ordered the book and CD even though the Amazon description was somewhat confusing -- it wasn't clear wether it was both the CD and the book or just the book. Well, I received it yesterday -- several days ahed of estimated arrival date -- and with free shipping to boot. (I added another book to total $26.) Not only is the book included with the CD, but both are packed in a nice box that has a velcro closure to protect both. The CD can be loaded into my iPod so I can take it with me. The CD follows the book and gives the English phrase, followed by a slow pronounciation of the phrase in German, with a few seconds allowed to repeat the phrase. Then the phrase is repeated again in German the way a native speaker would say it.
Both the book and the CD make a great resource for anyone anticipating travel to Deustschland.

This is concise, great for basic needs and even has a booklet. Unlike Pimsleur, one can see what the words look like and can learn how to mix and match more than the bare minimum that Pimsleur offers through endless repetition. A great start to learning a language completely.
