I finished the book over 6 months and ... - I bought this back about a year ago as I was going to move to a German speaking country. Whilst I speak a few foreign languages, German is not something I have ever come across in my studies and so I had little to no idea about words, grammar, etc. Basically, I could count to ten. The book starts from the very basics and it uses a limited vocabulary all the way through. The words and experssions are repeatedly used so it's easier to memorize them. The grammar is explained in a way that it doesn't look complicated at all. The audio material is also fine. I finished the book over 6 months and I got to a stage where my grammar knowledge is sound and solid! It is true that this way, you can really only improve the passive knowledge, and speaking will remain an issue. However, now that I have moved and started an actual language course, it was a pleasant surprise that from no German background other than this book, they put me in the A2.2 course after having done the placement test. Means I skipped the first 3 levels and saved about 1000 euros. Pretty good I think! There are, however, some negatives: - practically no space to write in the book which means you either do the exercises in a notebook, or use mickey mouse size letters... - conjugation is a very important aspect of the grammar, and whilst it is logically explained in the book, it would be helpful to have a table somewhere at the end that summarizes all the cases, including definite and indefinite articles, and conjugation when none is present. I made myself a table and ended up referring to it all the time until the endings eventually stuck in my brain. - it would make sense to have more 'burning' type exercises. By this I mean more exercises that purely ask you to change one certain thing in a sentence. Like, put this is the perfective passive. Rewrite with this or that preposition using the dative case etc. The more of these boring exercises one completes, the easier the different grammatical challenges will stick in the brain. Overall, very happy with the purchase. - Review: Fantastic value and effective resource - I have tried books from Teach Yourself in the past and have not been impressed but I thought I’d give it another chance. I was not disappointed! I learnt so much German from this book I could not believe it. Unlike many other language textbooks which start with things such as “at the airport” or “your passport please”, this book begins with introducing yourself and basic conversation. I also found all the culture tips very interesting. The audio was very helpful in pronunciation and you can also get the audio for free on the Teach Yourself website. Finally, the quality of this book is far superior to other teach yourself books. The pages are thick and in full colour and the spine is nice and sturdy and the layout is simple and easy to understand. It has been a pleasure to use and I would recommend this for anybody studying German. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 289,715 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 998 Reviews | ## Images ![Complete German (Learn German with Teach Yourself): Book: New edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lRxdbuCGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The audio material is also fine.

It has been a pleasure to use and I would recommend this for anybody studying German. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Course *by E***H on 10 August 2012* I've tried quite a few different language courses over the years and I was pleasantly surprised by this one. The book is quite compact, but it packs a lot into the colourful pages, with 23 chapters covering many different aspects of the language and situations you're likely to use it in. I particularly liked the fact that the 2 CDs had a huge 110 short tracks over them, which makes it very easy and not at all frustrating to repeat the tracks so that you can be sure of the punctuation. The style of teaching in the book is less dry than many others and I found the simple explanations given quite helpful when trying to understand the complexities of German grammar. Having a reasonable basic understanding of German, this book was more of a revision for me, but even so I'm a bit dubious that it would take anyone to to the claimed Level 4 understanding and conversation level without a serious amount of speaking, constant revision and further reading. I've bought 6 of the Teach Yourself German books - vocab, grammar, Perfect Your German etc, so we'll see how the whole package fits together and just how far it realistically takes me. So far, I've no regrets about the purchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - Teach Yourself Complete German (Learn German with ): Book: New edition - Collins German Phrasebook and Dictionary Gem Edition: Essential Phrases and Words in a Mini, Travel-Sized Format --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/250546704-complete-german-learn-german-with-teach-yourself-book-new-edition](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/250546704-complete-german-learn-german-with-teach-yourself-book-new-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-07-22*
