Book Reviews of Learn in Your Car German: The Complete Language Course [With GuidebookWith Free CD Wallet] (German Edition)

Book Review: A helpful learning tool
Summary: 5 Stars

I have studied Spanish and French, as well as some very limited Italian and even Japanese. I have found that I need both written and audio materials since I tend to learn best when I can see the word as well as hear it. I found this set of CDs to be very helpful in getting a jump on pronunciation, but I do not use it in a car -- I use it with the booklet for my visual-audio inputs. Learning foreign languages for me has always involved repetition - lots of repetition. These CDs make it possible to get that repetition in handy short lessons and the breakdown into so many individual lessons makes review a very simple process.

After a couple weeks of using this product, I supplemented it with additional written materials (this is due partly to my need to "see" as well as hear a language in my learning and my "perfectionist" tendency to want to know more details about the structure of a language early in the learning process). I was quite surprised to discover how many words and phrases I understood in reading the additional materials. Even if I never gain verbal fluency, it appears that I will nonetheless achieve some level of reading competence, which in my travel experience is also an advantage.

One additional handy thing was that the CDs included one with MP3 format lessons, so I put the lessons on my Sansa player, although I had to edit the details a bit to get the lessons and descriptions in order in the Sansa listing.

As a nearly 60-something trying to add a little German competence while contending with a hearing deficit to boot, I am very happy with this product.

UPDATE Aug 10, 2009

Now that I have had this set for another month, I am even more pleased with it. It is helping a great deal with my pronunciation and the many phrases are adding to my perceived ability to communicate.

As mentioned previously, I am using a written supplement ("German How to Speak and Write It" by Rosenberg) because I like to understand more about the grammar of the language. Between the two, I have gotten to where I am reasonably comfortable with the declensions of German, sentence structure is making more sense, and I now understand why certain words change endings and/or articles change in what I hear on Learn in Your Car.
