I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn German.I am an international business consultant working in Switzerland and I have been studying German for the past 5 weeks, using your German in 3 months book and audio CD set. This is the first time since high school that I have tried to learn a language and I must say that I am astonished how quickly I have been able to pick up the basics of the language. I knew my German would come in handy at work, however I didn't know that it would end up saving lives.It is the off-season at the small hotel I am staying in and at this time of year the reception closes at 8 PM. Around 10 PM last night I went down to the computer at the reception desk to check my email, as I usually do before I go to sleep. Soon after I sat down the phone began ringing. I wasn't going to answer it, as I don't work there, but it kept ringing and ringing so I picked it up. On the other side of the line was a panicked woman speaking German. I asked her if she spoke English and she said nein (no). She again spoke in German and I was able to gather that this woman, her mann (husband) and kinder (child) were geschlossen (closed) in their zimmer (room) because their Tor (door) was jammed. I asked her "Was zimmer sind sie in?" (What room are you in?) She answered "Ich bin am zimmer hundertelf." (I am in room 111.) I went upstairs and sure enough the door was jammed. From the other side of the door I could hear the woman say, "Schnell bitte! Mein kinder ist furchtbar Krank! Er braucht insulin!" I knew this meant that I had to hurry as her child was terribly sick and needed insulin. I told her, "Ich helfe Ihnen. Ich rufe den Chef." (I help you. I call the manager.)I telephoned the manager and he came right away and opened the door.
