Product Description

Product Description

New editions of these highly successful language learning courses come as a result of extensive research into customer needs. Now full colour throughout in a smart larger format, the coursebooks give adult beginners carefully structured support in their learning of conversational language. The courses are almost entirely rewritten by the same experienced authors who wrote the originals. Other new features are: many new high quality digital recordings, four cassettes in place of three, pronunciation practice and extra practice exercises. Ideal for self-study learners these courses also lend themselves well to classroom use with new extra resources of Teacher's Notes and Teacher's Cassettes.

Pretty terrible 14 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I've worked through a number of language tapes, both for German and other languages, and Breakthrough German is one of the worst I've ever encountered.

For starters, the primary narrator of the tape struck me as arrogant and condescending. But worse than that is that the program does little to aid retention of what's presented. There are few opportunites to repeat what you've just heard and no follow-ups to confirm that you've said the new term correctly.

On the positive side, some of the dialogues on the tape appear to be genuine, real-life conversations that have been (surreptitiously?) recorded.

As alternatives, I'd check out Pimsleur (very expensive but excellent) or Living Language.
