Do you know what the hardest thing for a German learner is? Finding proper reading material that they can handle…which is precisely the reason we’ve written this book! Teachers love giving out tough, expert-level literature to their students, books that present many new problems to the reader and force them to search for words in a dictionary every five minutes - it’s not entertaining, useful or motivating for the student at all, and many soon give up on learning at all!

Great Content & a good boost for autodidacts
I am teaching myself german as a 4th language with aims of being able to study in germany by the end of 2020. After a couple of months of studying I found myself stuck until I got this book. It helped me break through a plateau and helped me verify what I had learned and correct some things I had learned incorrectly. Learning the translated meaning of a word and seeing how they really work over and over are two completely different things. This is a great resource for autodidacts that could also serve as a great add-on for a group class. Would recommend to everyone that wants to improve their german.

Highly inacurate and misleading
It was a struggle to finnish listening. Not suitable for beginners as the narrator is hard to understand. Often I struggled to understand which word he was saying even for words I already knew. The translations are not explained just translated, often with one translation, even though the same word has more,they translated the one suitable fo the context of the following sentanse. ex. Rock is translated as rock (music) and skirt is not mentioned. the english word song is translated with the slang Song, in stead of the german word Lied. The book is not for advanced learners, as the word fund is very basic, often including names (that are pronounced the same as english), sounds like, oh,ah etc.

Great Structure
I really enjoyed this book and think it is great for anyone new to German. However, I think it would be even better for those who are slightly more knowledgeable with just basics. I liked the PDF attachment so I could see and listen. I liked that the words were said in German and English as well as used in a sentence to help you learn it in a different way. This is also said in German and English.

Ages 3+
I do agree with the other reviews, this audiobook is definitely not for brand new beginners. I am more of an intermediate beginner and have had three years of German in school learned previously. For me this book is perfect and just what I needed.
The speaker for the lesson is a native German and talks a bit fast with a slight Berlin accent, which is great for me because I struggle with the speed of native German speakers, and trust me- the narration of this audio book is how they speak in real life. The speed and lengthy sentences challenge me to train my ears and brain to keep up, which will push me to increase my ready comprehension. I realize alot of these common vocabulary words in this book had been said by my teacher in school but were never went over in class, so I am glad that I have this book to help me fill those gaps.
The audible app is user friendly, you can do a 30 second rewind, so if you miss something you can easily repeat if needed. The pdf that comes with it is blurry in the audible app like the other reviews say, but you don't have to read it in the audible app, I opened it in a different e-reader app on my phone and the quality improved drastically to practically HD.
Overall a great purchase! I am so happy with this that in the future after learning the basics of a new language, this brand will be my go to in order to take me to the next level of fluency. Experts say if you learn something seven times you can commit it to memory, so I will be listening to each book seven times to help me master German as well as other languages.

Actual audio book recorded not well.
The initial sample audio sounds good and other reviews sound promising. The idea and structure seems rushed. Felt like the reader knew he has 2000 words to get through. The audio quality is even worse, as if it was recorded using a headphone mic from a mobile phone. Listening in my car. I have to turn it up so loud to make the words comprehensible. Which does not help with the quality, piercing my ears. I really tried to keep it.

This is more a grammar book than phrase book.
I got this thinking it would help me learn vocab, ie a word at a time. Here's an example of their vocab: they give the word "to/too", and the phrase to teach "to/too" is "This evening I will come TO your office at 5pm. I promise I won't arrive TOO late. In order TO get there on time, I will take the train". Well if I knew all those words, then why would I need to learn "to", surely I'd know all that. and they give the German first (which confuses you), then the English, then as you're struggling to recall the German and learn a word, they've moved on. This model didn't work for me at all, sorry. I could maybe recommend this if you are simply looking to reinforce a solid foundation of vocab + grammar.

Great way to learn German
The Lingo Mastery audiobooks have been a great way for me to pick up new languages. My German is very, very basic, and this book is a great way of letting me pick up a fundamental vocabulary and apply it in natural language.
German has a lot of similarities to English that you don't really realize until you hear the words in context. Learning German was a great way to pass my commute.

Awfully read and aged content - do not buy!
I am fairly new with learning German, but have used a few audio courses and I thought this would be a good way to expand my vocabulary. However... I constantly have to talk myself into not quitting this course - it is so terrible. Sure, you pick up a word or phrase here and there, but the reader is so terrible (please don’t take offence, but this is not the job for you); the material is read in a very pompous way; imagine like somebody from the middle age pretending to be a cartoon character. It’s like an old grandpa pretending to be a cow or an elephant. It is NOT part of the sample - pretty misleading. Also to learn “words” like “hmm”, feels a bit like a joke. Also the audio quality is not the best, but that seems to be a general problem with many audiobooks, so I guess this is tolerable regarding this book. The reader will drive you crazy though, I wouldn’t spend a minute talking to someone like this IRL. It feels like a punishment to do this course.

A great audiobook to speed up your german learning
What I liked about this book is that the sentences are not super basic, some are easy, some are more complicated, and as you go through the book you end up learning more words than just the ones from the list.
The audio is also high quality, the narrator narrates the german sentence twice (slow and at normal speed) and once the english one.
Overall I'm happy with this audiobook, I'm currently doing 30 words a day since I try to repeat every sentence at least 3 times to improve my pronunciation.

Good vocabulary grinder
2000 German words are being read, first with the English translation, then with a sample sentence, said slowly and at normal speed, and finally the sentence in English. As there is no story to keep track on it is ideal for background listening while I do other tasks, letting the German words and sentences slip into my mind. Eventually the rhytms and phrases stick.

Perfect for beginners.
This book is a great resource for those just starting to learn the German language. It contains a lot of useful words (2000 words, as the title suggests), and their usage in a conversational context. Consistency and repetition is however key to maximizing the use of this book for achieving competence in speaking German.
While It is most suitable for beginners, everyone can get the benefits I got from this listening to this Audiobook.

Good book for learning German.
This audiobook is a great help for rapidly learning the German language. Listening to the words, and following the usage (both in the German sentences, and the English translations), is an excellent way to quickly retain a lot of commonly used words. I have learnt a ton in a short period, and I am dedicated to improving. The audio is also very clear, and the narration is well-paced.
Tip: I found it useful to listen to a few words for a period, master the usage in context, and once I am confident with those words, I move on to the next set.

Quite useful, but no space and poor English
Only one star for the story because there is none, it's a list, but you have to rate the (no-existent) story before you can proceed with the review.
I am listening to it while exercising in order to try and improve my already fairly good German. I particularly want to improve my pronunciation, so I want to repeat the German sentence after the speaker has said it. But he proceeds immediately with the English translation without leaving any space for this, so I often find myself repeating the German over the top of the translation. And although it is not really very important because the meaning is usually clear, the English consists mostly of rather poor, unnatural-sounding literal translations spoken with a noticeable German accent and odd intonation, which does rather tend to get on your nerves. I see that the writer and narrator calls himself Lingo Mastery, which suggests that he could be the Donald Trump of his field.
It is still quite useful, though, and I will continue to use it, and carry on repeating the German sentences over the top of the English translations so that I can't hear how poor they are.

Very good....but.....in the wrong order
This is clear, well pronounced, nice and simple sentences, each of which is said twice at different speeds.
Good for having on on repeat in the background, falling asleep, or for serious study
Some poorer attempts at this type of thing just play the same audio twice, which is stupid; whereas here, the author has bothered to repeat himself, slightly differently. Well done!! (How hard was that?)
The problem is, that he is saying it in a less than maximal target audience order. DE slow, DE normal, EN normal.
And then it skips on really quickly before you have had time to integrate whatever you just learnt
People would learn much better, and it would cater to a wider range of abilities, if the order was DE slow, EN normal, DE normal
ie
1) test of memory,
2) answer,
3) test of speed of comprehension/reinforcement/review of info/practice of naturalised pronunciation - depending on your current ability and goals
This way does not need a gap at the end to integrate what you have just learned, as that happens automatically in stage 3)
Simple but obvious. Pay attention folks, this is your job after all ;) Have you looked at the psychology of learning much? ;)(
Other than that, this is really really good
Hope that you can be bothered to get a techy to re-edit this more optimally. Wouldn't take someone with skills and brain any time at all. Should cost you pocket money and greatly improve the quality of your work
You will get a 5 star review from me as soon as you can address this small but important oversight
PS When will you do the audio for the Russian book?! Really looking forwards to that. And Hindi and Mandarin. All pretty widely spoken languages. Sure you will get the customers in. Hindi in particular has a massive dearth of decent learning materials. word to the wise ;)
Will buy them all, just as soon as you can get around to it.
Good work, thanks very much :)
Please address the order, it really does make a massive difference

Excellent
A very pleasant surprise. This audiobook could have been deadly dull but it is lively and fun due to the clever choice of illustrative sentence plus clear and lively diction.

Undecipherable German speaker
The German speakers voice is too deep to be understood on phones, tablets and laptops.
