I just now bought the Assimil German with Ease book off amazon based on the many reviews
on this forum. Sadly didn't have enough to buy the audio but my pronunciation isn't all too bad any more but still takes sometime. Any ways, I was wondering how would I go about using it with my other book LL Ultimate German Beginner. How is the more in depth does Assimil do it to help you learn the better than other books. What I mean by that is how does one work through the book. Sorry if what I'm saying is confusing because I'm not good with words in explaining. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

How much did you pay for your German with Ease? Amazon sells it with audio for only $33 here. You should able to exchange the one you bought for the version with audio for a just a few dollars more.

I bought the book for like $20 and I bought Ultimate German advanced for like $10 used (didn't have enough for the audio). But I will when I get some more money. I don't know why the CD's are so expensive :| 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Oh, I see. Amazon has a weird pricing scheme for Assimil right now. You can buy German With Ease without audio for $28 and German with Ease WITH audio for only $33. Edited by newyorkeric on 08 August 2010 at 12:12pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I found the instructions for using Assimil without recordings:(from another Assimil)
1) Read the first German sentence and compare it word for word with the phonetic transcription 2)Examine the English translation . then read the German sentence again 3) Read the German sentence aloud several times . then try to repeat it without consulting the book 4) Follow the same procedure for each sentence 5) When finished read the entire German text again , and carefully examine the comments 6) Read the German text once more . You should now be able to understand it without consulting the translation 7) Read the exercises . Repeat each sentences several times . the exercises review material from the current lesson and from the preceding lessons , If you have forgotten certain words , consult the English translation . 8) Examine the examples of sentences structure . they show how words and phrases are combined in German , which is not always the same as in English . I changed me mind about Assimil since Fanatic post that the older is better than the new Version , and I am using now Russian without Toil which it's Perfect Edited by re4lover on 08 August 2010 at 12:07pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Can you send the link for the $33 price? I do not find it on Amazon. The price I find is much higher. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks, I tried the link in the quote and it was broken. I did not think to try the first link. (I was not fully awake. I did not have my morning coffee.)
