"Excellent for learning ... This entirely audio course is easy to use and quickly results in some useful ability in the new language. Great for the car."
"Moving along at a relaxed, slow pace, punctuated by amusing anecdotes and jokes from the teacher, the new words, phrases and language rules are gently introduced and reinforced through subtle repetition without ever being tedious. In fact, despite a distinct emphasis on non-work, the course proves very effective and enjoyable, and its format is ideal for learning anywhere you like. So, if you only want to learn to speak the language, this course is highly recommended."

Format:Audio CD
This addition to the standard 8 hour course is excellent. It covers alot of vocabulary and grammar. I live in Switzerland and speak a little german everyday - this language builder has helped me to speak a little more each day. It is not easy tho' and one must repeat the course to get maximum retention & understanding. I reckon it takes around 3hrs to complete, and needs repeating at least once - but what you get for 6hours study if well worth the effort. I would suggest that on the next addition, the publishers put in at least a small 'pause' time tho', sometimes the CD pause misses out some important intonation that Michel speaks. Anyone who has covered the 8 hour course, the various 'Teach Yourself' or Pimsleur courses will benefit from this. The little booklet is useful too and can be used as learning tool in it's own right, and aids recall of the German you have learned.

Format:Audio CD
Very good self-teaching material to build your confidence, particularly in speaking. Its audio-centered method is very effective and what you learn is stuck in your memory. I can now deal much more fluently with the notorious German word order. Recommended for all the intermediate German learners who feel they are stuck in some sort of impasse.
Wish it was little longer, though. Hope a more advanced course will appear.

Format:Audio CD
I bought several AudioBooks to practice my German and I must admit I found all of them quite useful. What I appreciated most of "Michel Thomas German Language Builder (Michel Thomas Series)" was however the learning approach upon which this Audio-CD course is based. The sentences are carefully chosen to consolidate what you listened previously and somehow you get to learn how to correctly build a sentence in German although you are never explicitly taught about it. This course is probably not the best if you are an absolute beginner, neither if you are already proficient in German. It is anyway really good if you have already a basic knowledge of German and needs to consolidate your knowledge of it.

useful tool
This is a great help to anyone who has some German already and wishes to broaden their use of useful phrases and everyday parlance. I recommend it for fast track learning.

Michel Thomas language builder
As in his other courses he tends to concentrate on the use of verbs rather than extending the vocabulary of nouns.

Another piece of the jigsaw
In my opinion there is no magic bullet when it comes to learning a language. You need to acquire knowledge of the grammar and an extensive vocabulary. Read more

Another excellent addition to the collection
For those who are not familiar with Michel Thomas this is quite simply the best language course you could ever do. There is not writing, reading or remembering. Read more

Hard work, but still the best
This is a great review of Michel Thomas' Foundation and Advanced German course. But if you haven't done both of these courses, then don't bother buying this one, as you'll be lost... Read more
