This review is from: Schaum's Easy Outline of German (Schaum's Easy Outlines) (Paperback)

I have studied German for almost six months, and I can tell you that this little book allows me to comprehend the material that I am learning in class much more quickly. This book is perfect for beginners because a more complex grammar guide can confuse the first time learner. As I advance in my studies, I plan to upgrade to the complete editions.

This review is from: Schaum's Easy Outline of German (Schaum's Easy Outlines) (Paperback)

I found this to be a helpful supplement to my homeschool German curriculum. I have used a combination of Rosetta Stone and the Learnables and felt they both needed this as a companion to fill in the gaps in those programs.
