Some inconsistencies in here would make this useless for anyone above a beginner level, and even then, better resources exist. The only time I'd want to use this would be if I were teaching a child pronunciation as he/she is first learning German.

May produce Americanized pronunciation: note at the beginning of the book that is true.

I would have like to see the correct German spelling with each of the words. But I really liked how the alternative phonetic helped.

Not as well done as the Italian one, a bit inconsistant
