Na klar! offers the most trusted solution for helping Introductory German students develop their communicative competence. The sixth edition preserves the hallmark features that instructors have come to trust, and through its use of current, authentic cultural materials, Na klar! teaches students how to use German in real-life situations effectively and how to communicate successfully in the German-speaking world.
This was my textbook for German I and II at Indian River State College. I had the 6th Edition, which features largely needless changes from the 5th Edition that most of my classmates had. It was okay as a textbook, but would be pretty much worthless outside a classroom setting due to insufficient explanation within the book itself. The order in which material is presented also seems rather odd. For example, telling time is not until Chapter 4 despite being both important and very simple!
schooltime again...time to see how much german i remember from my two semesters i took 9 years ago...i am going all the way this time****** i'm done! german is over! i will continue to work on it with rosetta stone, as i have time. yay!!!
What good is a language learning resource if it makes constant reference to "the teacher's pronunciation"? No pronunciation guides have been included whatsoever.
A textbook is a waste of time if it doesn't, in fact, contain any information in it.
