supplementary material

I have recently received this German Grammar after a long waiting, but I have realized that I need to buy separately the 'Key to the Exercises' as a supplementary material. As a self-learner I find it essential. It seems that Amazon do not list it and I wonder how I can get it.

Excellent Grammar Book

I have an extensive collection of German grammar books and have to say that this is the best - it has a fairly old fashioned approach i.e. there are no fancy pictures etc but what it does have is a clear concise description of a fact and then exercises on it. I've found it more "friendly" than Hammer grammar, which although it is the most authorative work on the subject it does tend to list that many exceptions that you get bogged down in the detail. A Practice Grammar is not the cheapest option available but it is cheaper than buying a whole pile of more useless books. If it's not available in the UK Amazon Germany usually have them in stock.

Perfect for what it is.

This book is a practice of German grammar, nothing more nothing less. Between its bright yellow pages there lies a brief explaination of practically every German grammar rule of any practical importance, with exceptions of rules being highlighted.

This brief explaination is followed by a page of practice sentences which illustrate clearly the point of grammar being explained. This makes it invaluable not just for students learning german, but especially for people living in Germany an looking for examples of how a rule can be applied to everyday speech..

I spent one year as a student in North Germany, and after discovering this book after about two months, I would not go to Germany again without it.

A splendid book
