What's a good CD or something to brush up my uber-basic German FAST?

[franch]

Haven't done German since 'O' level, can't seem to remember a thing although I'm sure some will come back - what's the fastest way to remind myself it? I have to work with some Germans in about a week's time and need to at least have a few phrases, and a reminder of the language generally. No time available to do this really, so a CD or something would be ideal. What's good?

I have some of the Michel Thomas CDs for French and Italian and think he is brilliant. He gradually builds up sentences and teaches the words in an easy to remember way. Me and DH used to listen to Italian for a week or 2 in the car before holidays and were always surprised how much we'd mastered.

Thanks portofino, was looking at that one - looks good. Do i get the foundation or the language builder?

I would have thought if you have a basic knowledge the language builder will give you a quick reminder rather than starting from scratch(and it's cheaper?)

thanks porto

Could you watch some german tv? to get a feel for talking speed & phrases in general (depends on the programme though!!)

Good idea cups, don't think I can get any tho, only got freeview. Maybe online?

Listen to the radio, it really does help. I tend to listen to Bayern 3:

Click on the right-hand side, where it says 'Live hören' and it should start up
