Description

Praise for German Survival Guide "Elizabeth Bingham ’s German Survival Guide is the most user-friendly introduction to German language and culture available to the tourist or business traveler today. A simple, effective, basic course. . . . If you are planning a visit to Germany and/or Austria, begin with a careful reading of German Survival Guide!" --The Midwest Book Review "German Survival Guide gave me the confidence to accomplish everyday traveling tasks in Germany and Austria. It was a real pleasure to learn the language basics and know I could fend for myself. I appreciated the cultural tips even more, because I wanted to be a gracious guest in someone else ’s country. I didn ’t want to offend anybody. With this guide, I was able to accomplish that." --Jean Byl, librarian "This book is so easy to understand. With other books, you read a section and don ’t have any idea afterward what you just read, but with this book you really understand it." --Dorothy Shipman, retired "This book and these tapes are the answer for someone who wants to have a good experience in Germany but doesn ’t have much time to prepare. I wish I had had them before I went two years ago to visit relatives. Not only do they give a quick and easy way to learn the language, but the cultural notes would have been very useful to know. The book tells everything exactly as it was." --Alberta Thien, retired elemetary school teacher "As a high school German teacher who has traveled the last four summers with students to Germany, I am going to make German Survival Guide required reading before our next trip. The cultural notes provide such good insight into ‘the German ways ’ and the whole book was fun to read." --Jeanne Blackstone, German teacher "We used German Survival Guide as a resource for a math class trip to Germany. It gave my students a quick and needed introduction to the language, customs and culture. The Culture Notes scattered throughout are worth the price of the book in and of themselves. I recommend it highly." --Lynn Olson, math professor ". . . billed in a flyer we received earlier as "The low-pressure lowdown for travelers with too little time!", that is certainly true. It focuses on the most important grammar and vocabulary for travelers, all explained in down-to-earth, everyday English. If we had had this book in our possession during our various world travels, we would have been able to speak a lot more than ‘dining room German. ’ . . . This is very definitely the book to pick up if you are considering a trip to Germany, or merely ‘stopping over ’ for a few days." --John Austin, Book reviewer, Books of the Week "As a foreign language teacher who travels abroad with students, I am constantly on the lookout for materials which will help provide a positive experience. German Survival Guide is the most practical as well as practicable book I have found for the casual traveler who has little or no previous knowledge of German. . . . I am looking forward to the author ’s subsequent guides for Italian, Spanish, and French." --Jacquelyn Courtright, Spanish teacher
