This is the first of two student books in a two-part advanced German course which is intended to bridge the gap between GCSE and A level, catering for pupils who have achieved Grade C (or National Curriculum levels 6-7) at GCSE or General Level at Standard Grade and who are continuing with German to AS or A level, or to Higher Grade. The whole course consists of two students' books, two accompanying teachers' books and two cassette packs (with two C60 cassettes in each pack).
