4.0 out of 5 stars
Easy and effective,
By "topaze15" (Charlotte, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Just Listen 'n Learn German Audio with Book (Audio Cassette)
I really like these Just Listen n Learn programs. They are well-organized and fun, I think. They emphasize audio comprehension, speaking skills, grammar and vocabulary. You start out by listening to several dialogues spoken by native speakers. Then you do some practice exercises, either written or spoken, which effectively cement the knowledge of what you just learned. There is a manageable vocabulary list and a page of grammar. Their attitude toward the importance of grammar in conversation is to take it easy, don't sweat it, and eventually you will get the hang of it, which is very comforting, since often German classes involve memorizing charts of the dative and accusative cases (UGH!) There is also a section on German culture, but in the German program it is generally not as interesting as I would hope. At the end of 15 lessons, if you are consistent and an active participant, you have not only learned a pretty extensive collection of words and phrases, but you can use it with remarkable ease. Not recommended for intensive writing or grammar study, and you really have to set aside a little time to do it, you can't just do it while you're driving, you have to use the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Best audio course I found,
By A Customer
This review is from: Just Listen 'n Learn German Audio with Book (Audio Cassette)
The tapes and book were easy to use. With English explanations for different thing in the book and on the tapes, I didn't have to look-up lots of things. The use of idioms made me sound like I knew more German than I actually did. German friends marvaled at my accent! By the end of the 3 tape course, I was able to actually reserve hotel rooms, order food (for myself and all my traveling companions), get help in stores, use public transportation, and meet locals in bars and clubs. I highly recommend this course.

Bought this set prior to a trip to Germany and Austria. A great value. Practical text, exercises, and cassettes, along with interesting and helpful historical and cultural information. I have just ordered the advanced course to get ready for next years trip. Sehr gut.
