Unfriendly, but good for advanced practice,

This review is from: Easy Ways to Enlarge Your German Vocabulary (Dover Dual Language German) (Paperback)
Cons:1) Definitely not for beginners, it presuposes a more than basic understanding of German grammar and vocabulary. Pros: 1) Plenty of exercises. I'd only recommend it to german speakers who stopped practicing for a long period of time and now want to recover vocabulary by doing plenty of written exercises.

A Book for Everyone Learning German,
By Howard Ruskie (Columbia, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Easy Ways to Enlarge Your German Vocabulary (Dover Dual Language German) (Paperback)
This is a very useful book for anyone learning German, since it, as promised, gives easy ways to expand your vocabulary, at the same time giving useful insights into how the language works. It explains rules for German wordbuilding, shows how Grimm's Law of sound shifts affects cognate words, and does an excellent job of assisting in the learning of large groups of related words. Definitely a must-have book.

This review is from: Easy Ways to Enlarge Your German Vocabulary (Dover Dual Language German) (Paperback)
This book is really great. It teaches German students how to increase their vocabulary by learning the German suffixes and prefixes to add to the existing vocabulary that the student is already familiar with. By learning what each suffix and prefix means, the student need only concern him/herself with the main root of the word. From there the student can invent legitimate German words based on the knowledge gained from this book. In German, it is often very easy to create new words based on the words already known to the speaker & with the help of this book, it becomes a little bit easier. The various suffixes and prefixes are defined & explained and the author describes how each suffix and how each prefix changes the meaning of a root word. I love this book!!
