My oldest son started with a private tutor and your Essential German book has been a big hit! His teacher, who is from Russia and Germany, really likes the format.

I have to tell you again how much I am enjoying your German books—all three of them! It’s obvious that you put a lot of care and thought into preparing them, and I’m finding them to be much more helpful than the other resources I have found. You make learning German an absolute pleasure!
