Book very good, but I need a tape of basic everyday phrases.

If I had the time I would love to go through this course as it is intended  i.e. do each chapter with the use of the book and cassette together and  practising the written form. Unfortunately, I do not have the time and  would love a cassette I can listen to in the car which contains everyday  common phrases to repeat and build on gradually.

I love the book. The only criticism I have is that it is too short and needs many more phrases.

I won this eBook in Member Giveaway on LibraryThing.com in an exchange for an honest review.

This book is a great collection of vocabulary as well as ready-to-use sentences. It is enough to efficiently communicate in German-speaking countries and is a great option for BEGINNERS who would like to learn German at home.

On the other hand, the grammar contained in this book is very basic so I don't recommend it for intermediate or advanced learners. Id like this book more if there was an audio file with pronunciation of vocabulary.

I would prefer more of the phrasebook but when you do not have what you like, you have to like what you have. There is a short introduction to the Malgasy language and then dictionary kicks in.

It's nice to have a book with 100 common Korean verbs which is visually appealing and helpful. The conjugation charts are very useful. The introduction explains the conjugations pretty well. Talk to Me in Korean's free lessons on their website are always a fun and entertaining way to pick up Korean from native speakers with a deeper understanding of usage than one usually finds, so this purchase supports their efforts. However, there are a few areas where the book could be improved which keep it from 5 star territory. These could easily be fixed for future editions:
1. Cost is a little high for what it is, i.e. conjugation charts for a 100 verbs and a handful of examples for each.
2. Should probably be one volume, as there really isn't enough content to warrant breaking it up into 2 volumes.
3. Some modal tenses are missing from the conjugation charts. These are easy and common structures so I think they should be included. Some of the missing verbs endings include those for "I have to ...", "Should we ...", "I would like to ...", "May I ...". It would be helpful if some more of these common forms were included on the conjugation charts and explained in the intro.
4. Five examples for each are just too few. More examples please if possible.

These a good ideas to get you more involved with your language learning, many of them instinctual. I could tell you in a sentence without you having to read the book. Don't get me wrong, they are great ideas, but nothing new. Of all the things he mentions, I already do, save one, or two. You could condense this into a single page list of things that will help you learn a language quickly. I won't tell you what they are because maybe you need a book like this. There are good ideas here

This book is a good collection of memory tricks for recalling information.  It was easy to read and it will be a good reference.  I also bought another book,&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Every-Good-Boy-Deserves-Fudge-The-Book-of-Mnemonic-Devices/dp/0399533516/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge: The Book of Mnemonic Devices</a>&nbsp;which I have found to contain much more information.  I would recommend both books though.

This book was very helpful, but I need Josie's second book ASAP. I hope it is released soon.  In the meantime, I bought this book in audio format as reinforcement.  I also feel a paperback edition is much needed; it is much easier to reference than an e-book.

Im thinking you could apply your method to kicking any habit you might have. Really enjoying the read. Having a hard time finding the food list tho. The teeth on your page hide out a lot of words and makes one guess what the words are sometimes

I think this is a good book for non-English native speaker. I'm practicing and hoping it can help me improve my spoken English. You can find a lot of good points in this book from other customers' review.
One thing that bothers me is that CDs skip several explanatory paragraphs from the book. There are important techniques or examples in those missing parts too. I don't know if it is intentional or not. But it smoothly proceeds to the next section. I did ask the author by email given in the book but no any response. Yet, all exercises are still in CDs.

i was hoping for a bit more out of this book. it's written well with practical applications. i do like the 'lesson' (so to speak) per day but for me i needed more as i already incorporate what she suggests into my daily life. i think, for me, the last part of the book may be more helpful. this would be a Great book for the beginner on the path of changing up their life.

Wordly Wise 3000 is a good series of vocabulary books. However, I wish there were a section of "fill in the blanks" for students to choose appropriate words to complete sentences.

Regarding "acbooksnet" which offers "free answer key" if you buy a book from them, DO NOT bother. The answer key doesn't come with the book. But you have to sign in on their website. They ask you to give them a very good feedback. (I wish I could go back to change the feedback.) They will send you a Pay Pal link and ask you to pay another $3.99 for them to send the answer key. Just order the book from Amazon and get the free shipping!

It's a good book, clear and outlines the idea behind it, but i wish they had put in some sample daily menu's to choose from, rather than just recipes. But overall it's a good explanation to how this works.

This is a very good book. The quality of the material is excellent and the audio recordings as well. However, although it covers content from B1 and B2 it is VERY SUPERFICIAL.

A exemple: It only talk about Nebenstze (subordinate clauses) on the last 2 chapters while this is an topic for A2 level. Not to mention that it is limited to the use of "dass...". No "deshalb", "trotzden", "damit", "dafr", etc...

So, if you are a newcomer and has no purposes such as proficiency exams etc... This book will be great for you. You will be able to read and understand a lot of things. But, if you ALREADY studied German, and need to be prepared for the B1, I strongly recommend this one:

This book is great for learning Bosnian, Serbian or Croatian. My boyfriend is Bosnian, so that's what I'm focusing on. I showed him the book and he agreed that it was a pretty good book, but pointed out a few things that the book may not mention. I did not get the audio CD or the grammar book to go with it, so even though I am learning words, I'm unsure if I'm pronouncing them right or not while on my own. Also most of the grammar rules are not fully explained in the textbook, I would suggest getting the grammar book to go with this if you're like me and would like to know exactly why things are the way they are. The book slowly phases out English as it progresses, which is nice, you slowly learn how to read and comprehend it. Overall this is a great book to learn a language that is not commonly taught. I would suggest it to anyone wanting to learn the language and willing to put some time and effort into it.

This kit has a brief booklet describing the planets, yantras, and mantras.  The tapes are excellent and do what they promise.  The booklet is too brief and has misspellings and innacuracies of content.  For example, the author claims that the hour before sunrise is assigned to the planet of the day.  This may be a typo or a misunderstanding since the hour AFTER sunrise is named for the planet of the day, according to the Chaldean sequence of planets.  In fact, this is how the days go their names.
The section on the mantras is the barest of outlines.  The printed mantra for the Sun does not match what is said on the tape, which left me wondering which was correct -- the booklet or the tape.  I still have no idea what the proper mantra for the Sun should be.  In addition, there are Sanskrit phrases on the tape for which no text is provided.  Since I don't know Sansrit, I found this to be a significant lack in the kit.  I hope in future editons the publisher will provide a transcript for the Sanskrit words on the tapes to make them easier to follow.
Nonetheless, the quality of the tapes is excellent and they are an aid to meditation.  If the written text were better edited to weed out the inaccuracies and describe the tapes, I would have given this 5 stars.

Good explanations and with added context, but many common words I would expect to see in the book are not included. Format is a little confusing.
