Summary: Tedious and annoying
Comment: I found this product to be simply tedious and annoying. I've learned a little german through Rosetta Stone german for dummies, and wanted to be able to become atleast proficient in german. With all the praise this product got i thought it would be incredibly good. However when i started using this program it would start u off with vocabulary that you've never learned and when you use the translation key it gives you five or so translations for each word, making it even more confusing, and then you would get crossword puzzles that included tons of words that the program hasn't even taught you yet, so i would try to look them up, but many times i would not be able to find the right word to fit the number of spaces, and even if i did, i would rarely remember what the word was. Then there were these exercises where you would have to type what the speaker was saying down: first they spoke way too quickly for somebody learning the language, and second, if u had one little tiny mistake in how you typed the sentence (you forgot to capatalize a letter, forgot the period, spelt a word a tiny bit wrong) it would mark the ENTIRE sentence wrong, they also used many words that you've never learned yet, and i don't get how hearing words that you don't know is going to help. Also if you were trying to find any words in the dictionary you would have wait a minute or two for it to load and then search for your word, and then go back to your excersize that you would now have to start all over again. Plus it would also give you grammar excercises on grammar its never taught you. The entire program never really teaches you anything unless you spend a long time trying to find what you want in the grammar excercises and memorize them and memorize the dictionary which is a complete pain. I was frustrated so much by this program that i emailed the company to ask where it teaches you the vocabulary, and she just said it teaches you as you go along, which doesn't happen at all.
In short, save your money even a simple book like Barron's Learn German the fast and fun way for $18 is much more effective at teaching you german then tell me more german.

Summary: There is another version that has "Complete Beginner" in addition to just "Beginner"
Comment: Many people are frustrated in the other reviews that this set doesn't begin simple enough. I just wanted people to know that there is another version that has the "Complete Beginner" in addition to the "Beginner" material in this set. It is also more expensive but I wouldn't buy this version if you are beginning with no German. See TeLL me More German Premium - Complete Beginner, Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced There is also a Homeschool version with the Complete Beginner material. See TeLL me More German Homeschool Version (4 levels from Complete Beginner to Advanced). People are giving positive reviews to the other sets. I'm not connected to TeLL Me More German or anything. I just thought I would let people know.

Summary: confusing
Comment: This is absolutely NOT for beginners. My kids have had a little German already and were totally confused by this. I have had 2 years and could find my way around it OK. But, I didn't find it very useful. The software is "impatient" in the dialogue mode. If you don't respond at the exact right second and exactly the correct pace it can't understand you. The grammar section is silly. It does not coordinate with the lessons. You have to dig around in it trying to find what you're looking for. I could go on and on. I'm very glad I got mine as an overstock. I would be FURIOUS if I paid full price for this. I don't even know if it's worth the $25 I paid.

Summary: BUYER BEWARE
Comment: I speak a very little amount of german but i was looking for something that starts from the ground up. You know teaches you basic words, how to say them and what they mean and then gradually work up to putting words together to make sentences. This isnt the case. It jumps right in to sentences and phrases, luckily I understood what was going on, at first. Right now the program is teaching me how to pronounce words and not even giving me the meaning of the words I'm trying to say. It does have a glossary where you can look up the word your pronouncing but it takes several clicks of the mouse and a few pages have to load to get to it....good luck remembering how to spell the word your trying to research by the time you get to the glossary. Once you leave the glossary your not even going back to the same part of the lesson you were in anyway your starting over. I dont know why they don't make the translation coincide with the word your trying to pronounce.
If your a complete beginner I urge you to spend your money somewhere else. If you just wanna brush up then try me and see if I'm wrong
viel gluck!!

Summary: Great job Auralog!
Comment: I love this software, the only reason I did't give it five stars is the lack of being able to print out portions of the grammar explanations and the dictionary very easily in a pdf or word format. All in all I think it is worth the cost.
