Those studying German on their own should get the teacher's edition or consider an alternative tape based program.Studу Frее Bооkѕ Onlіnе аnd еvеn Dоwnlоаd еBооkѕ fоr Nо соѕtįіnd а hugе numbеr оf bооkѕ tо bе аblе tо rеаd оnlіnе аnd оbtаіn frее еBооkѕ. However the new edition has come out, so look at that one and not this (the fourth). It is well organized and worked for the class I was in. In summary, instructors looking for a book to use should consider Deutsch Aktuell. However, as with all textbooks, you may be able to find an older edition cheaper. In the teachers edition answers to review questions are provided, so you can go through the book straight, or you can focus on a grammar weakness and work on it. If you have taken German in the past and want to brush up/review, then get the teacher's edition of this book. If you are learning from a friend, ask them for advice on what may work. Alternatively buying a set of tapes and following another German program may be more practical.
Also teachers edition has correct answers to grammar exercises. This way you can learn to pronounce correctly. There are audiotapes or CDs that go with this book (ISBN 082191524X). However it is meant to be used in a class room with an instructor, and with out outside guidance it is unlikely to teach German. It has a section in the beginning on pronouncing German. (Teachers will want to know that a new edition has come out.) I am not sure about using this to learn German on your own. Deutsch Aktuell 2 completes the treatment and would be used during the second year of a course.) This is a good choice of textbook to use for a class. I found the grammar section and index at the end to be well done and they were helpful to me studying outside of class. At the end of the book is a grammar reference so it is easy to review past concepts, check what you know or look ahead. There are many review questions, so you repeat the grammar and vocab enough to recognize it later. Each chapter introduces a basic grammar concept. It has short chapters each with a theme, vocabulary list and dialog or short passage. This was the text book used in my high school to teach German 1.
