Teach Yourself German Complete Course (Book Only)

Teach Yourself German is a rigorous yet friendly pack which will have you speaking German to Upper-Intermediate level in 2 months.Thus you will be capable of holding conversation with anyone you encounter in Germany, Austria or Switzerland as well as fully follow Germanophone TV, radio and newspapers. As an Irishman, I learned French at school but I find that using Teach Yourself German for 2 full months has me at the same language level in German as 6 years of secondary school French-learning. I can operate fully here in Hannover on the basis which this pack gave me. Moreover, Teach Yourself German is written in such a way that you are receiving full integration into German grammar in a fun and comprehensive way. I fully recommend this pack to anyone intent on learning German.

This course is very good, but it greatly helps to buy the audio edition. I used this course and then the Teach Yourself Further German course to supplement coursework at the University of Virginia. These courses really help with pronunciation and give people taking classes extra assistance.
