Does that book still use Fräulein, daß, ißt, etc?

Fraulein, but I know that in reality it is outdated. Not sure about the others. EDIT: I looked through the book and found daB (B= eszett). So I will have to learn the reforms. Edited by christian on 05 February 2011 at 1:32am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It's really so exciting method , I'll try to follow it with Assimil instructions , about what out-date or not in Assimil (80s version) , I'm using now Assimil German without Toil (1951 version) which has a lot of out-dated words, but for me, it's like a "passage" to German, not as the only book I'll study for this wonderful language ...

When the new version comes out, I hope Assimil will have realized by then that the correct English translation for the word "reviser"(sorry no accent) should be "to review" and and NOT "to revise".... Such a pet peeve!!! :-)

I believe that in British English "to revise" is the same as the American English "to review"

Although I'm not a native speaker of English, according to my dictionaries (Oxford, etc.), "revise" is certainly the most accurate English equivalent to the french verb "réviser".
