This is not the book you are looking for if are a linguist/language enthusiast and want to study the language seriously. This book is aimed at your average person who doesn't know much about linguistics and just want to learn how to speak a few phrases. The use of vague self-made transcription instead of the International Phonetic Alphabet really annoyed me.

This book is just going to sit in my bookshelf. I bought it a year ago and didn't find it very interesting.

Good for beginners

Reviewed in India on 16 December 2013

Verified Purchase

This book is exactly as it says...meant for those who have absolutely NO knowledge of German. It is a good book for beginners. Has a nice situational conversation style approach. If you are looking for learning German as a language then probably this is not the right book for you. But if you are planning for a holiday n Germany and want to get away with the common street phrases and polite and courteous exchange of pleasantries with the native (without actualy going into a free flowing conversation) this book should help.

Overall, a good book to start off with but to learn German as a language one would need additional aides.

Start from Chapter 3!

Reviewed in India on 28 June 2017

This will teach you a lot, it needs to begin a bit more smoothly for absolute beginners. A good textbook no doubt but they should be introducing words and phrases a bit more simply and not so abruptly in the first two chapters.

Good book for beginners

Reviewed in India on 26 February 2016

Love the 'for dummies' series. German for dummies is for beginners who want to understand the everyday German. This won't make you an advanced German speaker but you'll definitely understand and be able to converse in German a little. Good book if you wish to begin to learn German on your own.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 September 2014

Verified Purchase

I haven't had much time to read thoroughly, except the preface and dipping in and out of the book.

I have just spent two weeks in Germany and found this very helpful in being able to understand some of the language. This does not pretend to teach you German but helps you to learn the language. There are some very useful tips which helped me avoid referring to 'the mist over the lake'. I was bought, as a Christmas present a few years ago, the Rosetta Stone language course to level 3. I find this book much more helpful and useful.

I will continue to use this book as my German definitely needs improvement and being in Kindle format means I can use it on my Kindle and iPad mini when away from home.

A Guide to German

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 April 2014

Verified Purchase

This is a really helpful guide albeit that it seems to be directed at American readers. This presents no real problems and the guide goes much deeper than the GCSE guides. To me the biggest advantage of the book as compared with many others is the presentation of a line of German together with it's translation into English AND a pronunciation guide to the line. This pronunciation guide is very helpful. There is also a CD with the book which also helps with spoken German. The book arrived promptly from Amazon.

Only so far through this book. Really finding it useful - its a good back up to other methods of learning Deutch.
I have been trying to learn German for 3 years and am struggling. But this book seems to be making a break through with me. I would recommend it.
