Themen neu 1, Coursebook [German]

In Ireland, Themen is considered the best book to learn German. I've been learning German on my own, and I can say I have learnt loads of things only with Themen neu 1, the workbook and the CD. On top of that, the book is written in a very funny style.

I first learned about Themen Neu while living in Europe. It seemed to be the preferred book in my school. But for those studying the language on their own, they should also invest in the workbook and cassette or else some of the exercises will not make much sense.

I'm doing a year long beginnng German class at the moment andusing this book. Although it is easy to use and the vocabularyis comprehensive some of the exercises are confusing, particularly as the illustrations don't always give a clearpicture of what is expected of you (a lot of people in the classhave complained about this). It's a good book to use in a classsituation but I think it would be difficult to learn Germanon your own with it. However, it seems to be the main book usedin Australia so it must be the best of its kind.

It is easy to follow .Grammer section is good , It shows in easy steps how to construct sentences.
