This isn't great if you want to have a conversation
This course has helped me understand German but isn't great for conversations or pronunciation. What I find the most frustrating is that you can't search for a specific topic such as booking a hotel or purchasing a ticket. While the lessons do cover these areas and many more, it's impossible to find it again as there is no search feature - 5 units of 30 lessons labelled numerically is what you get. The downloadable booklet doesn't relate to the lessons, sometimes there is no English translation, or the material is so bizarre it's useless. Grammar isn't explained anywhere. I'm having a much better learning experience with Busuu.
