Komm Mit!: Level 1

Summary: Vendettas against inanimate objects
Review: I studied for four years under this series in high school, and graduated with an awareness of my own slack-jawed ignorance to the german language. This book series subscribes firmly to the notion that total immersion is a necessary fact of language acquistion. When that immersion comes in the form of cartoonish illustrations and eerily androgynous audio tapes, monolingualism becomes a tempting option. This series taught sixty students, once eager to learn the german language, that german is both laughable and abhorrent. If you are a teacher and you seek an instructional series for your classroom, please heed my warning. This series is insulting, obtuse, and poorly thought-out from its inception. I am more confident in my Latin after six weeks of study than I was after four years of Komm Mit German. Bitte, kauf diesen buch nicht. Es hat mir bose gemacht, und gab mir nicht von den sprache des Deutschland. I'm sure there are grammatical mistakes in the above passage, which I lay at the feat of the quality my instruction failed to possess.
