German Without the Fuss

Rating:
Summary: Hard to beat
Review: This one book teaches everything from the basics to some pretty advanced vocabulary to culture to slang to Celsuis conversions. The CD is as well-organized as the book, and it's anything but dull - the only hard part is to get started. The book even shows you differences between the German you hear in Austria, Switzerland and Berlin. My girlfriend is currently using the book and loves it. The extras in the back of the book alone would make the book a good value, and the 15 lessons can be done by anyone who had the aptitude to learn to read to begin with. Worth every penny.
