Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: I got his cassette to help me brush up my German prior to a trip to Germany. The cassette bills itself as the most often-used German words and phrases and professes to help even those with no German express themselves clearly. Words (single words, not used in phrases) like resume, references, interview, unemployment office, residence permit, politician, election, campaigning,etc. are what the tape has, along with a few brief and irrelevant (for the most part) phrases. The booklet that comes with it has some handy phrases and words for a traveler who doesn't know German, but what got on the tape is of very little relevance or help.
