Great for learning and entertaining!

I really enjoyed this. I need more practice listening. This is unique because you hear a sentence in Gean, then English, then two more times in German. At first I thought this is going to be slow and horrible, bit it's great. You get a chance on your own to make sense of it, then hear it in English, then two more chances to listen and hear the subtleties.

After each chapter it also plays the chapter full through in German. That is nice so you can see how much you retained. I will continue to go back through and use this Audiobook.

My only complaint is that it ends with it being the end of book one. It's right in the middle of the story and then it just stops. I would really like to find out how it ends for Griff.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
