DIFFERENT OPINIONSHaving read the unfavourable reviews of ROUTLEDGE COLLOQUIAL on ".COM", I was surprised that most reviews of this course on ".UK" were quite favourable and that some were even enthusiastic. As I was looking for some simple, low-priced material to follow on the PIMSLEUR GERMAN series, I eventually decided to try this course and judge for myself.BASIC OUTLINEThe author of Routledge Colloquial German seems to have deliberately limited the scope of this course to meet the immediate needs of a traveller. This is a very BASIC introduction to the German language. Without having actually counted all of the words, not all of which are listed in the glossary, I estimate the vocabulary at roughly 900 words. The course opens with a description of German pronunciation and follows with the usual-for-a-self-study-language-courses short dialogues that a traveller might encounter. The central character in the dialogues meets a fellow traveller in Berlin, they strike up a conversation, agree to see the sights together and discuss their respective professional and family situations. End of story. While direct translations of the dialogues are not provided, by using the accompanying notes, the user can work out the meaning of the dialogues on his/her own. Grammar is sufficiently-well explained. There are numerous written exercises. However, since there are only 2 CDs to accompany this course, the audio tracks are devoted mostly to the dialogues and there are not many recorded exercises. I would have appreciated additional audio (see my suggestions below).EVALUATION: QUITE GOOD ... FOR A TRAVELLERBased on a vocabulary of only around 900 words, I found the dialogues very well written.
