Good for kids

My kids like it. It's simple, and they speak slowly, repeating the theme words so they sink in, and then there is a vocabulary lesson in english AFTER they present the story in German.

HOWEVER, they refer to a book with pictures that does not appear to be available for download; there is a link for an accompanying booklet, but this is just a word doc with translations (I presume for parents that don't speak German).

I think this should be downloadable as well because the pictures would aid the learning significantly.

Excellent

My daughter loves it, especially the songs. We've listened to it weekly for 3 months on the way to school. It is a steal for the price. You can buy the accompanying picture-filled book on Amazon - the pictures are nice for kids, so this is worth doing. I only wish Berlitz had more of these foreign language books for kids!
