Assimil is also an excellent tool for those who read the language already and want to keep up or improve their hearing and speaking ability.

Since it pioneered in this field 60 years ago, and after millions of methods sold World-Wide, Assimil has always been at the forefront of Foreign Language Self-Teaching.

Amazing book, just what you need to study german by yourself. It's very important to have the audio recordings, though.
An entertaining way to learn German, April 18, 2000

Initially I got this kit out of my local library but liked it so much I decided to purchase it. This study kit is made up of 100 individual lessons, with the aim of doing one lesson each day. Despite good intentions, this has not happened for me - I usually manage about 3 or 4 lessons per week. Vocab and grammatical concepts are introduced gradually, with the initial focus being on understanding the dialogues and later moving onto a more active phase of study. Every 7th lesson is a review of the previous six, which draws together the grammatical points introduced. The texts are entertaining, and are supplemented by cartoons that are amusing. Using this course I have found my German has made very good progress in a short time. The key thing with this course is persistence - keeping the momentum going and trying to do a little each day. There are a few errors in the texts, but these are fairly obvious and not misleading to the learner. I find it useful to have a dictionary handy to check individual words and a book of verb conjugations (I find the "501 German Verbs" book most useful) as sometimes a new verb is introduced in the past tense. I find the CD format useful for shuttling from track to track. This course may move too quickly for some people's liking but for me the pace is ideal.
The best method, in my opinion, December 3, 2008

I have studied with Assimil before. Many years ago, French, all by myself. After a few months, I spoke to a French person that could not believe I had never been to France.
So, after checking several methods from the public library to learn German, remembering my good experience with Assimil, I bought the German version of it. Well, I am definitely not disappointed this time either! What I like about Assimil, is that you really learn to speak the language little by little. I love the way they introduce the conversations, especially for an English speaking person. They sort of ease you into the language like no other method out there. The trick is to repeat each lesson until you learn it completely. I write it over and over, also, to memorize it. I also love the fact that they don't overwhelm you with the grammar from the start, which I find very discouraging. The book is small and light, so I take it everywhere.
I definitely recommend it. But I strongly suggest to learn each lesson by heart, like an actor learning his/her lines. That really works for me. I've been to France many times and now speak fluent French, and I plan to do the same with German.

The best method for learning foreign languages on your own - it will take you to a a level where you'll have a very solid base in German in a matter of few months. You can take it from there by yourself to become perfectly fluent. The Assimil method contains everything - reading, writing, understanding, grammar, listening comprehension, speaking. And it's actually quite fun. The dialogues are witty, the exercises useful, the grammatical explanations perfectly timed and clear.
