With its eye-catching graphics, engaging dialogues, and Internet support, Access German makes learning German a unique and enjoyable experience

This innovative, modern course for adult language learners provides you with a thorough grounding in the skills required to understand, speak, read, and write contemporary German. Presented in an exceptionally clear manner, every page is bursting with engaging photographs, colorful language panels, and appealing exercises--a welcome relief from traditional language-learning courses on the market. Access German also offers the flexibility to learn on your own, with a partner, or in a class.

Two features that put Access German in front of other language courses include its two CDs and its Web support. With the CDs, you will interact with lively recordings of practical conversational language, either with the book or on your own--wherever or whenever it is convenient for you. You will find further support at www.accesslanguages.com, a free website that provides guidance, interactive exercises, and additional Internet-based activities to reinforce your learning.

• Learn basic words from ten everyday topic areas, such as family, shopping, eating, travel, and hotels

• Discover the key structures you need to know from the "Language Focus" panels
• Get a fascinating look into life in German-speaking countries through the cultural sidebars
