This is a clearly written introduction to the complexities of German grammar. It takes the language apart bit by bit (or problem by problem) so that it never becomes threatening or overwhelming. The book is targeted at English speakers who have begun to learn German by a phrase approach or by listening to tapes, and have already mastered some basic phrases and vocabulary. It is an excellent supplement to self-study by tapes or books, or a refresher for those who learned some German in school years ago and are looking to brush up on their grammar.
