I saw the comments and bought it. Okay, it has quite a few grouped everyday words, but the biggest negative is that they don't have the corresponding article for each noun. It is a RULE for learning German words that every word someone learns MUST be learned with the article. There is no acceptable German learning aid without articles. Unacceptable. Someone will have to sit down and scribble in the book writing next to it the corresponding article for the four thousand words.

They recommended it to me as I am leaving for Germany and I do not know the language, and I am truly thrilled. The best purchase I have made.
