Summary: Good If You Use It Right !!!
Comment: This book is great for someone who is dedicated to learning german. A lot of people say that it is to hard and that they are a beginner, well all of those people who think it is hard can go ... Because I learned the basics from a mini sized Berlitz frase book. And it took about two or three weeks to fully understand numbers 0 - 1,000 and basic frases. German for Dummies has some good quick frases in the front - Konnen sie bitter langsamer sprechen, translation, Could you talk more slowly. This book is fine for the average beginner who wants to learn german... Auf Wiedersehen.

Summary: Could be Much Better
Comment: I have generally found language books of this nature to be disappointing but before heading to Vienna, I took a gamble that this book/text may be better. I was once again left unimpressed. Although I can see its potential, the book tries to be too many things all at once and it would be nigh impossible to gain any real benefit, let alone language ability, out of it. Although I have not studied German since, I recently spotted "Ultimate Living German" which looked very good so I may try it once again.
Even if you want to study only a little German before embarking on a holiday, I am sure there must be better books than German for Dummies. It will only make you confused, frustrated and out of pocket. For those who want to study German seriously, then this is definitely not for you (even for the beginner).
Viel Glueck!

Summary: Doesn't work for me
Comment: 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.
