4.0 out of 5 starsGood for learning German, but not for self-learning
Reviewed in India on 30 August 2017
As others have said, this book is not for self-learning.
The package has 1 text book, 1 workbook and 1 glossary. The text book and workbook each have 2 Audio CDs. So you get 4 CDs in all.
The CDs have dialogs in German that you can listen to. Also, some of the exercises in the workbook refer to the tracks on the CDs. Meaning, you will have to listen to the tracks and answer the questions (for some of the exercises).
There is no proper pronunciation or phonetic guide. Hence, you will find it difficult to learn German on your own using these books/CDs. (By the way, EVERYTHING is in German; there is no English in these books and CDs.) If you are already learning German in a class, you could use these books as supplementary exercises (if they aren't already a part of your syllabus).
The quality of the books is excellent. Glossy paper, coloured pictures, etc. The Audio CDs too are very clear (but all in German). The only reason for giving this 4 stars is because I can't use this for self-learning.
