Since I had intensive 2 weeks English (full-day course), I wanted to start as a rookie with the CD. Also, I was curious about the contents of the CD. This I have disappointed by easy installation on the PC after a few days of testing done to:
a) The dialogues on the CD are spoken very fast.
b) riddles (spoken dialogue, so just listen and understand (no eavesdropping possible)) can answer only those who have a very deep understanding of the language. Here a very little time left to answer the questions - I had a beginner once translated into German, then to be able to select the correct English answer the question for me from English. Even my husband had to fight (and he has mastered the language). A pause button, there is not in order to stop the program. Here I find the CD at the beginning not really supportive. Therefore, there is a star deduction. Viell. The publisher can accept this desire and bring about improvements at this point for beginners.
c) There is a section on the CD - here, the topic be chosen (which would be practiced) and playful grammar is taught - ie subject-related. For beginners absolutely great. For this there are 5 star.
Because even on the whole, is to recommend this gem.
Conclusion:
* Book top!
* CD only use one part of the exercise (if Beginner). The rest of the CD who really dominates the book / grammar / language, because then the CD is motivating.
