Kontakte: A Communicative Approach (Student Edition + Listening Comprehension Audio Cassette)
by: Tracy D Terrell, Erwin Tschirner, Brigitte Nikolai


Editorial Review:

This best-selling German text is based on the Natural Approach, pioneered by Tracy D. Terrell. Students learn German through communicative contexts with an emphasis on the four skills and cultural competence, with grammar functioning as an aid to language learning and not an end in itself. In the Natural Approach, students develop language in stages, with the comprehension stage preceding the production stage. For that reason, Kontakte focuses first on the receptive skills (listening and reading) before asking students to produce the language (speaking and writing).

Es macht Spass!:

I bought this book for an introductory class and I'm finding it well-balanced, though not perfect. Other books I've seen hit you too hard and too fast. This one introduces German basics at a decent clip. Now, I have been to Germany three times and have studied it on my own and taken one brief Conversational German course, but I do find the introduction to grammar and vocabulary pitched just right even for beginners. The disputatious reviews here point to the fact that learning a language is very... more info

Not for self-study:

Kontakte is a wonderful book for introductory German, if it's the assigned book for the class. The book is heavy on conversation and classroom exercises. It is not intended for self-teaching. In the classroom, with a curriculum designed around the book, it is very effective.
