German for Children with Two Audio CDs, Third Edition 3rd Edition

Absolutely loved this program. Although geared for younger children my twelve year old raced through the program and is ready for her trip to germany with her Oma. She can confidently ask and answer simple questions and feels confident she can learn even more from our relatives.Each section includes activities to reinforce learning. Simple, geared toward 5 -10 year olds. This may be a useful resource for older children and adults just starting to learn the language. Perhaps before formal training in high school? as it will provide solid basic skills.At times the music and songs were annoyingly repetitive but so effective that very little repitiion was needed. As noted by other reviewers the discs were mislabeled but no information was missing so it really didn't matter once we figured it out. I would definately recommend this as an easy tool to quickly learn german basics at any age.

This is a very nicely done German course for younger children. It makes use of songs and conversational scenarios that children find interesting. My kids have already picked up a number of words and phrases after a couple months' use. Though clearly geared toward children, the course is also not bad as an intro for adults; my wife and I enjoy listening to the CD and reading the nice accompanying color booklet with the kids so that we all learn together.

While the format and content is good for younger children, the second audio CD was unreadable by any of my machines. I actually ordered this to try to replace the CD from the same product I bought a year ago. The second CD did not work in either package. I will be sending this back for a refund.

2 small text and work books with fun , easy games and pictures. 2 cds included that I just converted to mp3 and then downloaded onto my phone since we dont have a CD player anymore. Overall pretty good and recommend.

I bought this for a very intelligent, but severly crippled young boy at out church with the hope that, since he can barely walk and will probably never be able to run and play with other kids, perhaps expanding his mind is in order. He loves history and is especially interest in Germany during the Hitler years. He seemed facinated to learn that I speak German and some Russian. I asked if perhaps he would like to learn some basic German and he thought he would.The only drawback I find with this course is that it is all audio and books. It would improve the course if it had a video component since most children are strongly "visual learners".However, otherwise it seems to be a very well-built course and I would recommend it to other.

I bought a German teaching CD but it started with a conversation on a plane and buying furniture. I'm looking for the basics since i'm a beginner. It was my doctor who gave me the idea to watch cartoons in German. Well, i need someone to tell me what's being said. so, i thought of getting children's book and CD teaching German and this fit the bill! Yes, the CD's are mislabeled. But I do wish the other reviewers were a little bit more descriptive on the error. The CD labelled as CD One is actually CD Two and so the same with the other one. I know it doesn't take rocket science to understand and rectify this error but it helps if someone just says it! C'mon, we all live a busy, stressed filled life.In short, anyone interested to learn a new language, begin with children's book before going for the adult stuff.05/07/13: Oh my goodness, the CD with lesson 2 is messed up! I wonder how many more...

I bought this product for myself, as I'm teaching myself German. Turns out the majority of it I'm too advanced for. It's still wonderful though (as it was obviously a mistake on my part, not theirs). The 2 CDs are wonderful for in the car or even tutoring for homeschooling. The book has cute things like a comic strips, too. The workbook is nice also. The songs are nice for younger children. Would recommend it if you're just beginning. Even if I can't use this product, I intend to hold onto it for a gift for a younger child.

I recently purchased this for my family of 3 children between the ages of 6-12. When we go on road trips, we stick a cd in the car and repeat after the person on the cd. The best part are the fun songs they include. The children love singing them, and the best part is, they are singing in German! :) We are only on Unit 3, but so far we have really been enjoying it.
