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.

Summary of Learn in Your Car German: The Complete Language Course [With GuidebookWith Free CD Wallet] (German Edition)
This exciting new edition includes a 60-minute Travelogue DVD of the relevant destination countries for each language. This added feature will enrich the learning experience and add that extra stimulus to motivate users with their studies. New material in this second edition includes a variety of internet and digital media/technology terms. It includes nine 60-minute CDs; full text listening guide; zippered CD carrying case. The Level 1 offers: Introduction to key words, numbers, phrases, sentence structure, and basic grammar. Level 2 offers: More challenging vocabulary, more grammar, more complex sentences generate confidence in your ability to comprehend and converse. Level 3 offers: Expanded vocabulary, advanced grammar and complex sentences to expand your conversational skills.Look ma, no textbooks! The Learn in Your Car series treats you like a child--in the best possible way--starting with one-word phrases ("please," "good-by"), counting exercises, and simple nouns ("bus," "train") designed to imitate a child's learning process. First you hear the words in English, then they are repeated slowly in clear, unaccented pronunciations. The method is extremely effective for those who don't know a thing, or for those who want to brush up by testing themselves when the English words are spoken. The tapes emphasize the building blocks of communicating in a foreign country rather than rote phrases that only apply on the tape and not in real-life exchanges. Level 1 painlessly covers basic verb forms, essential prepositions, near future and past tenses, as well as shopping, hotel reservations, and other travel-related situations. The series includes French, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, and Spanish in three levels that can be purchased individually or in boxed sets. Each level contains two 90-minute cassettes (or CDs) and an accompanying booklet (not for use behind the wheel) with helpful explanations and scripts for the lessons.
