Best foreign language series I've used so far. It teaches you how to hold basic conversations in German, gives you the word in German, breaks it down for pronunciation, repeats it, and lets you practice saying it correctly.

What is also great is that it builds on new words, while refreshing you on words and phrases you've previously learned to help you remember better. Content is practical and easy to learn!

I would actually really recommend this for people who feel like languages are really hard, and even just for anyone who needs pronunciation and speaking practice. Should be supplemented with a text of how to spell as well.

I use it as a supplement to my German evening class. So far so good

Great supplement for other courses and breaks down words/phrases well.

[Devin Partlow · Rating 5 out of 5]

Learn to greet, say whether you understand or not, ask and say how you feel, say your nationality, ask for directions, say that you'd like to eat or drink, and much more. Only 5 30 minute lessons.

Best method of learning to speak a language I've ever encountered.

This is better than I expected.. Was able to learn and memorize the conversations. Though I used google translate to find out how they are written.
