German for Beginners As having no background in the German language, I purchased this text in order to be able to learn enough of the language to communicate, both verbally and written, while on vacation in Germany. When I first opened the text (to the middle of the book), I noticed that it was written in German. I quickly turned to the first chapter and was delighted to find that it was written in English. As one progresses through the book, more and more is stated in German, with less being in English. I was really glad it started with English in chapter 1. There is a vocabulary list at the beginning of each chapter, with the German word (or phrase) with the translated English equivalent. It will pay the reader to become very familiar with the vocabulary words, as they will be built upon. I have not completed studying this book, but I do highly recommend it to the novice studier of the German language. It will be more than helpful to the individual that desires to learn the language. | ||
