I’ve
received a mobi.file [KINDLE] copy of this book through a giveaway the author
had on LibraryThing and the following is my honest opinion.
Having
taken German in college as the language, and still able to speak it from time
to time when I find someone to speak it with, I found this book to be quite
useful for anyone who’s seriously interested in being able to begin learning
Germanspeak it, especially if they’re considering a trip to Austria or Germany.
The
author begins her book by telling her readers how to pronounce the letters of
the alphabet by doing it phonetically in English. The book is then broken down
by categories which any visitor will find useful, with simple phrases to help
them with routine requests. Unfortunately the download I got did not allow me
to go from the Table of Contents directly to the section I was interested in
looking at.
While
the book doesn’t really help one with all the grammar of German it does fulfill
its mission of giving its readers the basics of the German language. It’s a
good refresher for anyone who had taken the language in school.
For
opening the door of the German language to anyone interested in learning the
basics of this language, I’m giving Ms. Swan 4 STARS.
