Title: Doesn't work for me
Product review: I have been trying to learn German for a long time. I am planning on going to live in Germany next year as an exachange student, since my school does not have a German program I thought it would be smart to get basic German down. This book is not about the basics! It just tells you the phrase, doesn't tell you how exactly it translates, just tells you an extremely rough definition. It doesn't explain grammar, it isn't 'quick and easy', it doesn't help build your vocabulary at all, and if it does, it has a table of words, and just says "memorize...". It never uses the words that you learn again. Worst of all its not consistent at all, and it's horrible at comprehending anything the author is trying to get across to you. My good friend from Germany looked at this book, and told me that it was "schiesse". Overall German for Dummies, is a very poor source of information for German.
