13 Mistakes

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

Yes, this tiny booklet has 13 mistakes in it. I am a native German speaker and professional translator. My intent was to order the booklet for an Intro to German for elementary school-aged children. Thankfully I just ordered one sample.
I contacted the publisher and advised them of the problem. They expected me to give them the details about the mistakes free of charge. I would think that they should take it out of the royalties of the author, get the problems corrected, and meanwhile remove the book.
If you are just looking for something for your kids to play with it's probably a good choice, but if it's supposed to be used for teaching I would steer clear. I would have corrected a couple of things by hand, but this book is clearly of the lowest standard.

Teaches German... with a Terrible American Accent

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

Don't buy this. I need to give this an honest review. It is not worth the "cute" coloring pages to teach German with terrible phonetic spellings of improper pronunciations. There is no proper explanation of how to pronounce the vowels with umlauts, as in ü and ö. This is not stuff you can just bypass. The phonetic pronunciation of the word „möchte“ for example is „mursh-teh.“ Please. That’s not German. It‘s embarrassing. There are other problems with how big the English words are as compared to the German you’re supposed to be learning, but the phonetic spellings ruin it anyway. Don’t buy this for anyone, your kids or yourself.

Not just for kids!

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

This may be meant for children but it's also a cute, easy-to-use traveler's introduction to polite phrases and a basic vocabulary. Pictures identify the words and they are used in very simple sentences at the bottom of the page. It's cleverly designed to teach something of sentence structure and word order without a single grammar lesson. This would be fun for an adult to use before tackling a Berlitz or other phrasebook. It's pocket size. I think it would also be great for its intended audience, making it easy and fun for a child to acquire a basic grasp of another language.

My high schooler uses this

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2018

Verified Purchase

When other reviewers wrote this was small, I didn't realize how small. My 14-yo daughter laughed and looked at me funny when I gave it to her for her German 1 class. But, she took it to school. In another period, a girl she also has in German class asked her about a word. She got out this book and was able to find the word easily! When other students saw the book they asked her if they could color it! She didn't let them. Guess mom's not so crazy now!

Perfect Pocket Book

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

I love the little Dover books! They are perfect to keep in my purse for when we are on-the-go! This little book is a great coloring book / picture dictionary for German. I don't always love the pronunciation guides, but then it's very difficult to capture that.
And for all those reviewers who complain that the book is too small, may I suggest they read the description next time before ordering? It states clearly in the product description what the dimensions are. My young children have never had a problem with these small books. As I said, I love them for their small size and portability! We have dozens of them!

POCKET SIZE - not 8x10 sizing

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

Size is too small for children to actually color in properly. I didn’t read the description to see how tiny it was - it’s pocket sized and fits in my hand. I plan to take pictures of the pages and print them on 8x10 paper to work with my daughter on phrases and words in German while she colors. The phrases are accurate and will be beneficial as she navigates into the German language. I don’t like how the pronunciation is done, though.

Fun and Good Collection of Phrases and Words, but strange Phonetics

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2020

Verified Purchase

I like the fact that this book introduced a good number of words and phrases. As other reviewers have noted, the "phonetic" pronunciation on these words is lacking. For a parent trying to supplement something else, Duo Lingo in our case, we can overcome these phonetic shortcomings. My six year old daughter is trying to learn German and likes to color, so this is great for her. Don't use this as your only source of learning German. However I am glad we bought it. The price is right.

Great little book

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

Great little book. We got three, one for each of us learning some German basics. Wonderful introduction/reinforcement, not a full curriculum or anything, clearly, but we really enjoyed it. It includes a phrase discussing food allergies, which is relevant for so many kids these days, and we appreciated that as well.

The idea is nice, but there are some mistakes in the German

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

The idea is nice, but there are some mistakes in the German, and as a native speaker I have to say that some phrases are just not used like that others contain grammatical errors. These are mostly fine details, thus still 3 stars. Nevertheless it keeps me from using it in my German classes, and I can't whole-heartedly recommend it.

To point out some examples:
* Cereal is translated with Mehlspeise. The translation is not completely correct (Mehlspeise is a meal made with flour, pancakes for example) and the word is not in use for young people. So really off in a book aimed at children.

* "Happy New Year" is translated as "Glückliches Neues Jahr" which a) is never said like that, we say "frohes neues Jahr" and also, "glücklich" means something slightly different than happy: in the sentence "I am happy" it does translate to glücklich, but translating "glückliches neues Jahr" back to English, it would have to mean something like "a new year with lots of good fortune" I suppose - I am not sure as it is never said.

* "Ich möchte ein Sandwich" can be found on one page (supposed to mean I want a sandwich). Correct would be "Ich möchte einen Sandwich". Pronounced it sounds almost the same, but when you write it down it should be grammatically correct. Also, while Sandwich can be understood by most Germans, the correct German word would be Butterbrot or simply Brot, and especially children would use this rather than the English word which is used in the narrow meaning of what we think of as English sandwich: white bread with a sandwich cream and lettuce cut into triangles.

So all in all a bit questionable.

not convinced

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 5, 2018

Verified Purchase

I am not convinced, if this kind of translation works for learning another language. I am a language teacher and bought this book for one of the kids I am tutoring. We are not using it after all. As English and German use the same alphabet, this book does not make much sense anymore. I would not recommend it for small kids, instead would start straight.
