German Made Simple: Learn to speak and understand German quickly and easily by Arnold Leitner Ph.D. - Paperback

Difficult . I will buy a C D instead

easy peezy to use

again it helped my daughter and myself.

Learning German isn't easy.I adore the Michel Thomas audio courses, but they almost shy away from explaining the use of Accusative, Dative or Nominative... and you do need this for correct German.This book tackles it head-on, from about Chapter 5 onwards, and does it brilliantly. It is clearly written, with plenty of vocabulary, dialogs and explanations. It's well worth the money (but wish it was available on Kindle).In a nutshell, if you're getting started on German, you NEED :1. The Michel Thomas audio courses.2. German Demystified: A Self Teaching Guide3. This book.Together, these three will give you a better head start than most language centres.

I have made some progress in the book and I really love how easy and accessible the book is for English speakers trying to learn german. There are exercises you can do and see how you've done. It also has a section that explains the german pronunciations for words which is very helpful because sometimes when you're learning a language, it's easier to read (dank-e) than it is to read danke.
