This best-selling German text is based on and inspired by the Natural Approach, pioneered by Tracy D. Terrell. Students learn German through communicative contexts with an emphasis on the four skills and cultural competence, with grammar functioning as an aid to language learning and not as an end in itself. The abundance of interesting personalized activities and a wide variety of authentic and author-written readings in Kontakte ensure that students are exposed to rich language input, critical to language acquisition. A full range of supplements, including video, audio and interactive online materials, provide multiple opportunities to practice newly acquired vocabulary and grammar and further refine developing language skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars it's all pretty much the same
Reviewed in the United States on 6 July 2018

There is no reason to buy the later edition. it's all pretty much the same. A few things are different like they change tape to cd or maybe add a page here or there.

I asked my professor before starting the class if I could use an earlier edition of the book which was required and she said yes . It saved me like 180 dollars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Overall a great resource to have.

Sadly I was not able to fully use this in class, but I did read it independently.
My overall take of this is that it is a great resource to have to refresh what I have learned in my German 101 class.
This book also comes with a website that also guides and reinforces what you are learning in the book which is great.

Book came quickly and in good condition. I used this book in college to study German and remember it being a good learning material for intermediate-beginner speakers.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Different Style Makes it Easy to Learn
Reviewed in the United States on 28 September 2008
Verified Purchase
The book's teaching method is different from other language books I have had. The book has an intuitive learning style which makes the vocabulary relatively easy to learn. The book is split up into several different sections and includes a vocabulary list and grammar section after each chapter. These pages are a different color than the other pages making them easy to find.

My only complaint would be the lack of examples for some of the exercises. Overall this is not a problem but sometimes it is an issue. Also, this book can be bought with a book key included. It is cheaper to buy the text without the key and get the book key (assuming your class requires it) from the publisher.
