It came exactly in the condition it was promised. It did not take long either which is always a plus.

This is basically just an oversized traveller’s phrase book. Not much info on grammar, syntax, very little vocabulary. It does have a very good pronunciation guide. But not recommended.

I spent two weeks in Germany on a publicity tour for my 3rd book from Parthas Verlag [...] and liked the section on spelling your name and phone calls. Didn’t have enough time to do more prep. from this book, but I have to say that the book is wrong about how people answer phones. Only at businesses do they announce their names when they pick up–everyone else just says “Hallo?” That’s based on hearing countless “handy” calls received in restaurants, trains and other public places.

I bought this book during my second year of studying German, and it was pretty useful as far as beginner’s grammar goes, but as far as vocabulary, don’t expect much. It is more a book for people who plan to go to Germany than anything else. I’m not sure about the 3rd edition, I have the 2nd edition, but there were often times when I even found mistakes and the pronounciation key, even though I didn’t need it, tends to throw you off from the actual pronounciation. Some more helpful guides would be Themen Neu workbooks for English/French/… speakers. I found those while I was an exchange student in Berlin and they helped me a lot to build useful vocabulary and help out with my weak areas.

This book is helpful for someone who knows very little-nothing about German language. It touches on culture, and is a nice source book for learning German. However, if the reader knows basics of the German language, I would recommend a different book. This is a nice great book for the clueless.
