an excellent book, especially if you're professor is as good

This is an excellent book for beginners. The long lists of vocabulary are no doubt beneficial in the beginning stages of learning German. The book does a good job of pushing you to the max in terms of learning new material, especially if your professor requires you to know every last detail of...

Wie geht's

The book was in excellent condition. The included CD ROM had never been opened. I paid about 25% of what my college wanted for the same text.

Caveat Emptor

I like the book itself. I agree with what others have said regarding being comprehensive and a good beginning German book. However, the CD leaves a bit to be desired and although the book offers a "key code" from the publisher in order for you to access an online help site affiliated with the...

If you're purchasing this for a class...

WAIT until the class begins. I bought this book via Amazon a few weeks before my courses began. Once I received the syllabus, I was told that I had to have a shrink-wrapped version that includes a "key-code". This is for accesing an online workbook and other accompanying material-which my...

Returned Workbook

Pretty Good, but a few shortcomings.

I used this book for two semesters of German language courses in college. While its not a bad book, the memorization of tables and stuff can be daunting. I thought the descriptions were precise and clear, and the grammar exercises were okay. The problem was the application of grammar was too...

Not what I'd hoped for

I've started taking German in college in preparation for graduate school. So far, I am not impressed with Wie geht's?. The charts and diagrams are not clear, the grammar is presented seperately from the culture and vocabulary sections, and the exercises are mindless. I also find it fairly useless...

Outmoded approach, not at all communicative

Wie geht's has many strengths--including its use of realia and images of modern Germany. But its over all concept is totally outmoded: no German teacher coming out of an education program will have been trained in this methodology, which is not at all communicative, and most of the language...
