Review: Awesome book with a variable price - Disclaimer : This Book/CD edition isn't for Novice learners. You need to at least have a basic understanding of the German language before you embark a tour of it. Coming to the book, The content is great, easily the best book available to learn German. You won't get to see such a simpler explanation even on books from Goethe. But but,there are no color pages and the paper quality is not that great. You only get a single CD as against two if you were to buy a book published by McGraw Hill. And desertcart & U-shop does what they usually does, they keep on alternating the price between 550-900 as per their wish which is pretty ridiculous. Moreover you won't get the prescribed book as mentioned which is of 408 or 416 pages, instead you will get the one with 389 pages. Publisher is Hachette but go for McGraw hill which is available on Flipkart and Paytm. For serious buyers, Buy it on Paytm, it costs 719, but you receive a cashback of 40% hence the effective price is Rs 395 or Rs 431 depending upon the discount given on the market price. Review: Best Choice For All Beginners & Youth Learners! - This book is by far the best possible guide for me to begin learning German language in an easily understandable manner. Whether it's the simple pattern of learning presented by the author and co-authors or the different ways through which you can understand examples of real life usage of German language. Everything is worth acknowledging including the way by which you can spot your emphasis more on building your vocabulary, grammar syntax, beginner friendly speaking, pronunciation and writing. Continually, this book is another good example of a pocket friendly German learning guide as well. The four main aspects of this book: Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing, are explained well and it is becoming really easy for me to understand German language throughout the whole process, especially as a beginner. This book is also an amazing guide if you are somebody who is preparing for A1, A2, B1 & B2 level of the German Certification Examinations conducted throughout India & the rest of the world. Talking about the book's quality: There are two things I am disappointed with, firstly, at the time when I had received the book, it was in a slightly damaged condition from one of it's edges. Though it was not much concerning, I still felt a little disappointed. Secondly, as mentioned and seen in the other reviews while purchasing this book, I too did not receive the CDs along with the book, as mentioned and expected. And so that is the only reason I am rating this book four stars. Otherwise everything is perfect for young and beginner language enthusiasts like me. So conclusively, if you are a beginner or youth language enthusiast, go for this one because I am sure you won't regret learning German with such a good and knowledgeable language learning book. All the best!

Logical progression, from easy to more challenging German speaking skills.
I am working my way through the book (Chapter 8 so far). I like it because each chapter takes on one topic and works it pretty thoroughly. I notice that as I advance I am challenged with generally higher tasks in reading, writing, speaking and listening. I was able to link to the free online audio clips without too much trouble, and use them them easily now. The speakers in the audio clips speak clearly and with good emotion.

Fantastico
El servicio fue rápido, el libro es en segunda mano, pero es perfecto y también el CD sin daños. La caja solo tiene uno daño menor. Las páginas no están escritas ni rotas. Lo recomiendo mucho este libro para aprender aleman!

Great German Learning Resource
It actually exceeded my expectations, and also the audio from the app makes it even better, I recommend this book to anyone who is learning German, wished I knew about it earlier and it is also interesting, already half way through, plan to go over it at least 3 times, the size also makes it easy for me to read it in the bus or whenever I am in transit, some terms and rules in German language that I was finding difficult before now makes much more sense to me because of the explanations from the book, all in all, great German language learning resource, kudos to the writers( I think this is the longest review I have ever written 😀)

Bom livro.
Bem didático, bom conteúdo, se atentem ao tamanho, ele é BEM pequeno - a foto engana - e não vem com o CD como descrito no título do anúncio. Mas o importante que é o conteúdo: é excelente.
