Pimsleur Quick and Simple German for English Speakers

The first thing I did to learn German was to download this audiobook. It teaches fairly basic stuff, like how to say hello, I only speak a little bit of German, where is Goethe Straße, Goethe Straße is here, Goethe Straße is not here, Goethe Straße is over there, etc. I was so excited when, on my first day in Frankfurt, in a taxi on the way to the hotel, I saw the street sign for Goethe Straße. I wanted to cry out, 'Die Goethe Straße ist hier!'

I have since listened to the equivalent audiobooks for French and Modern Greek and found that they all follow exactly the same format, down to the exact same words in English. I love it, it's just so silly.
