What do teachers say about this resource? (5461, 5462)
Definitely get some of these fantastic ZigZag resources, they are useful all the way through the course.
Overall, I think this is an absolutely brilliant resource which has clearly been developed by an experienced teacher. I would definitely purchase it as a teacher and I would recommend it to other practitioners of German. I was genuinely excited reading through this excellent resource.
I think that it is a superb resource with lots of exercises, not just for listening, but also for reading, grammar and speaking. It boosts students confidence by offering lots of exercises to practise the always difficult and nervewrecking listening exam.
