I need to learn German

selm · 09-19-2006, 12:18 PM

I will be going to Germany for business for several weeks, but I don't know when. I learned some common German phrases for my ED trip, but now think it would be best to learn a bit more. Can anyone recommend any books/cds?

Don't use Kontakte. That's the one I am using in my class and it's pretty bad lol.

A business publication (I think it was Forbes) mentioned a system called the Pimsleur Approach http://www.pimsleurapproach.com/. I haven't used it myself, but it's worth a look at least, especially since it says it's good for business travelers.
