Surprise your friends! Astonish your family! With Pimsleur, you’ll be speaking and understanding like a native in no time. 30 minutes a day is all it takes. This German course includes all of Phases 1 and 2 -- 30 hours of spoken language practice and two hours of Reading Lessons providing background on the German language and culture. With this product you start from zero, learning first survival phrases and vocabulary, and eventually progressing to a mid-intermediate level of speaking, understanding and reading German.
Every lesson contains an introductory conversation, and isolated vocabulary and structures, as well as full practice for all vocabulary introduced. Emphasis is on pronunciation and comprehension. At the completion of this course, you’ll speak confidently using your wide-ranging vocabulary, and experience the language and culture with a deepening insight into a new world.
Reading Lessons are included to provide you with an introduction to reading German. These lessons, which total about one hour for each Level, are designed to teach you to sound out words with correct pronunciation and accent. A Reading Booklet to be used with the audio lessons is also included in PDF format.

Comments about German I-II:
I use the cd's in my car as I drive to and from work, and around town.
I am learning basic phrases, AND, my ear is learning to HEAR the words.
THIS IS EXCELLENT.
I'm really wanting more vocabulary! I've studied and reviewed both German 1 and 2 several times - enough that my speaking and hearing is almost at 95+%!
Pimsleur's method is working for me!
Why 'the polyglot' tagline? cause I've used the Spanish 1 and 2, and Cantonese 1, and have French 1 and 2 in the pipeline. I plan to be comfortable in 4 languages by Jan 2014!
With Pimsleur, that goal is certainly DOABLE!
