Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Grammar! For many of us, the word triggers memories of finger-wagging schoolteachers, and of wrestling with the ambiguous and complicated rules of using formal language. But what is grammar? In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write. As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.

Good as far as it goes
Thirty brief audio lessons—most between five and ten minutes each—cover basic German phrases and social customs. There are two instructors: Judith Meyer for lessons 1–24, Widar Wendt for lessons 25–30. Innovative Language Learning provides a written reference guide that mirrors the audio lessons and lists their vocabulary terms.
Both narrators, being (I believe) native speakers, provide (I hope) authentic pronunciation to imitate. Both speak clearly and are easy to understand, though Mr. Wendt has a slightly stronger accent than Miss Meyer. Both give word-for-word translations for each phrase and grammatical information where appropriate. The lessons progress logically and cumulatively.
A few of the lessons are quite discursive; Miss Meyer in lesson 20, for example, rambles on at length about the intricacies of Germany’s bussing system, and relates a superfluous story that happened to a friend of hers. This feels like padding and should have been cut.
Did anyone proofread the reference guide? It’s full of typos, particularly in lessons 1–24. I can only attest to the typos in English, but the large number of them makes me wonder about the accuracy of the German. The number of errors decreases dramatically—and the vocabulary lists become much more detailed—in lessons 25–30, but I’m surprised Innovative Language Learning hasn’t posted a corrected guide since publishing these lessons on Audible.
My rating: three stars (four for the audio lessons, two for the reference guide).

Pretty good, as these things go...
I purchased this in advance of a trip to Germany. I am a real "dunce" when it comes to picking up other languages, but have been able to get the basics I might need for my trip from listening to the first 20 or so lessons on this book. It has short lessons with what are really "survival phrases" for a tourist - much better than another one I bought that wanted to teach me how to count to 1000 (at which point I quit listening). I really liked Narrator Judith Meyer - she speaks clearly and it is easy to understand how she is pronouncing words. But, when the Narrator switched about 2/3rds of the way through to Widar Wendt, I did not like this book and quit listening. Mr. Wendt speaks too fast and it is hard to understand his explanation of how to pronounce words as a result. If you are planning a vacation to Germany and just need some very basic phrases (please, thank you, where is the bathroom, excuse me, do you speak english, I don't understand etc.), then I would recommend this book.
