German Grammar Drills (English and German Edition)

This is a great supplement to my Rosetta Stone sessions. With Rosetta Stone, I am learning how to speak, read and write German, but with this wonderful book I am learning WHY the grammar works the way it does. The format is easy to read and understand, and I think that the author does an excellent job of creating quick-but-fun exercises to help reinforce my grammar skills. There are plenty of examples in the front of each chapter, and I will often refer to a previous chapter if I need additional help on a question. As the title implies, this book is a great way to reinforce your grammar skills, however, it works best in conjunction with a German class or other form of instruction. It doesn't give definitions for all nouns and a dictionary or a little prior knowledge of the German language will help immensely. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for something to drill them on their beginner/intermediate German grammar.

One of the best book for learning German I have ever bought. This book and all the others like it by the same author give you a chance to practice grammar, verbs, sentence structure etc. The book has all the answers in the back so you can check your work. There are explanations of all the grammar rules and examples. I now own 4 of these books and I love working in them. I highly recommend them for people who need to put their learning into practice to facilitate their learning.

I was looking for a book like this, for a very long time..... I am a German native speaker and started teaching my 2 boys (12, 14) german grammar. They never have lived in Germany and their first language is English. I am not a teacher and can't explain things very well, but this book explains the grammar very easy with plenty of examples. Each grammar chapter has then up to 6 exercises, to practice and deepen the just learned grammar. At the end of the book all answers keys are featured. I can definitely recommend this book ...

This is more for the advanced student, I think, but well-conceived and structured. I love exercises, and this book has plenty of them, which is great. I think what stops me from giving it five stars is that it's not exactly personable. I'd appreciate it more if it enjoined the reader more vigorously. I didn't feel particularly "spoken" to, if that makes sense. It was a bit too dry for my taste.

I have written maybe one other review since becoming an Amazon customer in 1999, but I had to write another one. This book is fabulous. I've struggled with every German class I've ever taken, but this book has helped me so much. I don't know if it's the way he puts the charts together as opposed to the way they're organized in our textbook, or exactly what it is, but this book has been a life-saver. I even take it with me instead of the textbook when I go work with my German instructor, and she wrote the title down. I'm a PhD student, and must achieve a 3.0 GPA in four semesters of German, and now I feel like I might get there. Thank you for this book!!!!!

Not quite what I was expecting. Slightly difficult to get going with it but it does have some great information.

This is a great re-introduction to students who have already studied some German before. If you've never approached German, you should expect to put a little extra work into the text, and you will need to refer to more complete grammar books. However, as a work-book, this works, and the exercises are extensive and varied enough to produce a good review experience of all German grammar.

The book is advertised as "Perfect for Beginners or Intermediates". I'm a beginner, have been studying and taking a class for several months, and this book is too advance for beginners. That is why I gave it 2-stars. It might be a great book for more advanced learners but I wouldn't know. I just know it's way too advanced for beginners. Specifically, each chapter gives a summary of the grammar lesson. Well, it's more of a review of a grammar lesson. For beginners, it's way too much information to absorb and apply in the exercises that follow. I'm just getting confused. I'll have to save this book for use later. Much later.

I'm still going on the book features but now I can already say it is very useful and full of exercises and the complete answer key is perfect! It is what I was looking for.

I have almost the entire Practice Makes Perfect grammar series in French and German, and I certainly don't regret what I have bought so far. The "German Grammar Drills" and "The German Verb Drills" are a perfect complement to my 'Auftakt 2" book (O.U. course). Not only do they provide essential revision, which I badly need, but they "hard-wire" essential structures into my brain.

Conaigliatissimo

very informative
