Willkommen! 1 (Third edition) German Beginner’s course: Course Pack

For the price I could have bought the Coursebook, with DVDs, and the Activity Book, separately. The description and photo, both of which refer to "Course Pack", indicate that the FULL course is included. Don't be fooled! The Activity Book is not included. I am unhappy that both the seller & Amazon have yet to address this issue, which from the multiple reviews has been an ongoing one for several years.The Coursebook itself is well presented.

Great set of books for learning begginers German. I miss read and thought it came with the CD. It did not. The book is usable withou6the CD to a degree. Great quality!

Great book, fast delivery. Came in impeccable order.

I think this was misleading - calling it the course pack implies it has all the parts you need, but this does not include the Activity pack, which you need.Also, there doesn't seem to be any way to access the recordings and videos online, and I don't own either a DVD or a CD player (who does?). Very disappointing and feels overpriced. I didn't return because I have started a German course, and need this book plus the activity book, but feel annoyed that I am now paying over £40 for two paperbacks and a CD and DVD I can't use.

Recommend by my German course teacher. Follows the lesson well

I'm using this course book for my own self-study, although it is clear that the course is really intended for use in a language class environment. The book, as part of the Course Pack, is supplemented with two CDs and a DVD. I have only completed the first two lessons, but the material seems useful and the presentation and format are enjoyable. I have also purchased the Activity Book, which provides useful further exercises to complement each lesson in the course book.

I've nothing else to compare it with, but it seemed very good to me. There are listening exercises, reading, grammar examples and usage. The material is interesting, and it's very nicely presented, with a modern look. There's a book of exercises that goes with it, which I also bought, and I worked through the two of them together. I've just finished the whole book (although, of course, there are lots of things I can't remember!). The last 2, of 12, lessons don't contain much new grammar but they do have a lot of vocabulary in them, so there's a tendency (to which I succumbed) not to spend too much time on them. I've now gone on to book 2, which also looks pretty good.

I had to buy this for a night school course. Is OK for that but would not recommend for self learning. You also need the CD/ DVD to go with it, and there are question in the course work but there are no answers at the back so you can't tell if you have done the exercises correctly.
