Negative Positive
Title: dissapointed
Review: i picked this book up in preparation for my stay in germany with a friend, whose mother does not speak english. maybe it was because i have some prior knowledge of basic german, but the first several chapters of this book were almost useless. when i showed my german friend the book and cds, he said 'no one talks like this. if you speak like this people will just laugh at you'. i decided to purchase this from my experience with teach yourself norwegian and swedish, which so far has been very pleasant and helpful.
Is the review positive or negative?
