CD doesn’t work on MacBook.
I tried to contact the seller to ask but they have no helpline on Amazon nor their homepage.
This book should be great but wish they provided audio on web too so that people who don’t have windows PC can learn.

This is the best introduction to German grammar I have found. It covers everything you need to know in a very understandable way (including the aspects not covered by Michel Thomas!) It is easy and pleasant to read. It is equally easy to refer back to specific sections when needed. The CD is useful to help with comprehension, pronounciation and to revise the verb conjugations and vocab lists. (I use it on the daily commute.)
I have dropped a star because there are not many exercises to help imbed the grammar points in one’s mind (try Schaum’s Grammar for that). There is also very limited vocabulary as this book sticks to basic sentences and the odd vocab list.
You will never learn German from one book, but for beginners, this should be one of the books you read. The grammar is far more logical, better explained and easier to refer back to than in the “Teach Yourself German” book.

Great learning aide. Looses a star for not making the audio content available online – who uses cds these days.
