Summary: German Skill Builder Verbs
Comment: This is a very nice set of tapes-and accompanying book for the intermediate student. The tapes are very clear, with frequent self tests to build vocabulary and skill. I would recommend this over the "Pimsleur Instant Conversation" program any day. You learn much more than "Ich spreche Deutsch", etc. There is everyday conversation mixed in with the conjugated verbs. A very nice second level course.

Summary: Excellent Practice for German Verbs
Comment: I'm a big believer in the neccessity of constantly listening and practicing speaking a language EVERY DAY when trying to learn a new language. Especially if you don't live in or near a country that speaks the language you're trying to learn. For that reason I picked up this book/4 cassette course and have been very pleased with the improvement in my conversations with a German-speaking Austrian friend.
The first half of the book provides verb conjugation charts for 150 verbs. Most of which I found very useful although I was a bit puzzled over the inclusion of "donnern" (to thunder) and "blitzen" (to lightening). Unless one plans to spend a lot of time engaging in weather conversations I would've picked other verbs to fill those slots. Nonetheless, the other verbs are very common and used constantly in conversation.
The second half of the book provides almost an exact word-for-word transcript of everything spoken on the tapes. There are a few discrepancies but not many. The most valuable resource in my opinion are the 4 tapes of extensive German dialogues that illustrate common usage of the verbs and their tenses. The tapes alone are worth the price because you actually don't need the book. These tapes are so complete they can be used as a "learn-while-you-drive" type intermediate course. I wish more book/cassette courses used this combination approach. Many courses assume you will practice only while learning with the book in hand. My problem is that to truly learn a language proficiently I need a lot more time than just those times when I have the book with me. And that's where these tapes truly shine. The book is a good extra and I'm glad they include it. But you could get along just fine simply using the tapes alone. So naturally I use both. Get this course and practice the exercises and you will definitely see improvements in your speaking and comprehension of many troublesome German verbs in all their tenses.
