German by Repetition (2000 Expressions ...)

[Speakeasy]

While searching the internet for materials for practicing German, I came across the following books and accompanying audio recordings. I was wondering if anyone had tried them or would otherwise wish to comment on their likely potential.

This is the "Home Page" of the publisher's website. I found the annotation at the bottom right-hand corner of the webpage interesting: "Translation is not an exact science. If you think you can improve a translation then email it to the address below. If we accept the improvement then we will list your name as a contributor in the next edition."

Comments, anyone?

All of the usual disclaimers concerning a relationship between myself and the publisher, benefits derived from promotional efforts, et cetera apply here. That is, the answer is "no".

What a great find! I find the voices very enjoyable to listen to and the expressions quite useful. It seems to be very similiar to the Glossika GMS files (however, only in one format: English-German). Together it's 4,000 sentences. Since the files are free to download, they could be chopped up using Audacity and recompiled vice versa in order to brush up on English everyday expressions. That's how I will use these files (as soon as I find the time for that). And the best is: There's also French by Repetition: http://www.frenchbyrepetition.co.uk/

Having listened a little bit more, I must admit that I perceived the one or the other odd German pronunciation. I am not so sure that the speaker is a native German speaker. However, his pronunciation is quite good, at least if you consider that the audio resource is completely free.
