Basic German: A Grammar and Workbook (Grammar Workbooks) 1st Edition

This book is straightforward and easy to understand. I am using it as a compliment to Rosetta Stone. There are answers to the exercises, so it is a good book for teaching yourself German grammar.

I am glad I already know German and was just trying to brush up grammar. There are many mistakes in the exercises as well as the answers.

This text/workbook is just what you need for a structured, grammar-oriented introduction to German. After completing this text you will understand the structure of the German language equivalent to a two-semester college course. The text is self-contained and the grammar is introduced in a user-friendly way requiring no previous exposure to grammatical terms. This book does not cover pronunciation; a good program of self-study would be to go through this book to cover language structure and the Michel Thomas German course to learn the spoken language. As is the case generally the case for volumes in the Routledge language series, the thoroughness and clear presentation of the content outweighs the somewhat steep price and will make your purchase an excellent value.

It's nice to have a book that comes with an answer key for a change. Too many of these come with questions but no way to determine if you got it right. This one could use a pronunciation guide but other than that it's pretty good.

I have many german grammer learning books , but this one is the best one when it comes to explaining the rules and the concepts and giving examples.The only thing it lacks is proper exercise (it has very simple and short exercises) - so i will recommend getting another book specifically for grammer exercise.Overall if you are learning german - do not miss this book!
