Basic German (Practice Makes Perfect) (German and English Edition)

This is a great addition to the other Practice makes perfect German workbooks. This workbook is easy to use, has answers listed in the back if you get stuck and guides you here and there. As with any of these workbooks, I would recommend buying a good German grammar book and a German dictionary. Together, the three books will help you understand the language and how to use it. These are good workbooks and study guides.

Initially this workbook was more advanced than I needed for beginner's practice. However, with some studying from other books like German Made Simple: Learn to speak and understand German quickly and easily and The Everything Learning German Book: Speak, write, and understand basic German in no time (Everything Series) I was able to catch up. Its a great workbook for someone teaching themselves German as well as an accompianment to a regular German class. I just wish it had a few more exercises per topic.

I like this series but this book is definitely very basic. I was hoping for better explanations and more exercises. It was very basic and I was looking to learn the language. I didn't feel it was as in-depth as I had hoped it would be. It is a good book for review if you already know the language or as a very basic refresher.

THIS IS A GOOD REVIEW OF BASIC GERMAN PRESENTED IN A SIMPLE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD FORMAT THAT ALLOWS THE READER TO CONVIENIENTLY PICK UP WHERE HE LEFT OFF WITH THE LAST LESSON. EVEN ADVANCED STUDENTS WILL APPRECIATE DISCOVERING WORDS,GRAMMER, AND IDIOMS THEY SEEMINGLY MISSED BEFORE IN THEIR STUDY OF GERMAN. TO COMPLEMENT THIS BOOK, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE ENTIRE PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT SERIES. I CYCLE THROUGH THEM ALL AND THEN START OVER AGAIN. REMEMBER, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT !

If it was bad I wouldn't know because I don't speak German...But it comes with an app, so....

I'm finding this very helpful as an aid along with a popular online course that is immersion based. As a former language teacher, I believe the immersion method is the best for learning a language, but adults who are familiar with the grammar of their own language will be helped by a guide with practice exercises like this one. I also have the French book, which I purchased a few years ago.

Daughter loved it to prevent vacation brain drain in subject matter.

These exercises might be fine for those who already know a little German, but I was a little lost and frustrated. Would not recommend for beginners.
