I have used this book and it is excellent! I was an absolute beginner at learning German and after completing this book, i knew all the basics and i started learning German more easily. There is a lot of repetition and good understandable excersizes to go through and learn...if you are an absolute beginner i definately recommend this book.""After using several german texts, I found this one to be the most effective for learning to speak, write,and read German. I also recommend her magic key to Spanish. Outstanding!""If you are buying one of Madrigal's books after partial successes with other books then you will not be disappointed. Her Magic Key series really does seem to "unlock" a lot of the jumbled up and difficult part of the languages. I love her books."
