DEUTSCH HEUTE successfully develops the skills of introductory German students by maintaining a focus on building listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Manageable for two-semester courses, the Tenth Edition covers grammar in a logical sequence. Each chapter contains many function-based activities that focus on specific emotional expressions. Students are introduced to contemporary life and culture in German speaking countries through a cast of recurring characters who appear in the "Bausteine für Gespräche" (dialogues) and some readings and exercises, as well as in the Student Activities Manual (SAM) and tests.
