4.0 out of 5 stars Wunderbar!, July 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: A Practice Grammar of German (German Edition) (Paperback)

The grammar explanations are very clear, straightforward and succint. It's oriented toward practice, with lots of exercises. I found this grammar very user-friendly, both in terms of finding topics and of understanding concepts. It is invaluable help for anyone studying German! However, I do not suggest it as the first and only source for beginners, as the explanations may be unclear to those with no previous knowledge of German. Finally (which may be a problem): the key to the exercises is not included with the book, but has to be purchased separately.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good reference, a little complicated., March 18, 2000

This review is from: A Practice For German: Verlag für Deutsch (Paperback)

I have worked with this book for a year now. It is a good reference to keep around at the time you are taking a german course.It is not very easy to use, because of its organization, but nontheless, I believe it helps to clear a lot of questions that students may be afraid to ask because they fear it may sound stupid.

Id advise staying away from this book. As the title suggests its got plenty of excercises, but the presentation and layout are very lacking. (Stick with Schaum's Outlines German Grammar instead).
