Hi all,
Thanks for your suggestions. I really appreciated the answers and it's certainly helped me. With a few long drives the CDs will probably be very useful. Best regards, Luke p.s.

Hi everybody,
It looks like Michel Thomas is a busy guy as Amazon are showing about 12 to 15 different audio CDs. Can anybody point me towards the best beginner one? Thanks! Luke 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Here's how they're broken down on the Michel Thomas site: http://www.michelthomas.co.uk/german.htm Start with the Foundation course. It includes the Introductory portion (course), which alone, won't do you much good. R. == Edited by hrhenry on 31 March 2011 at 1:47am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I print out the dialogues/grammar notes from FSI German for each unit so I can go over them and listen to the audio on my phone and do the exercises. It's surprisingly portable and only requires 10-15 pages per unit.

Hello Luke, I personally have been in the same path learning German. I also dislike using language software, there just isn't anything good out there that is effective, affordable, and portable.For beginners I would start with Michel Thomas Foundation, then the Advanced, a set of CDs which you can rip to your iPod or mp3 player. Afterward you can try Pimsleur which is all audio that you can also rip to your music player and listen to. If you really want to learn beyond I would highly recommend Assimil, I am currently using "Assimil German with Ease" which is German for English speakers and it is phenomenal. Let us know what you decide. :) 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

This site was just recommended by a language blog.
http://www.dw- world.de/dw/0,,2547,00.html German is next on my list. I will also pick up audio materials at the library. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
