Only with this book at hand, should you dare to study German. The ultimate reference guide, especially for those using textbooks for German classes that seem more concerned about German culture and glossy pages than thorough explanation of grammar. Forget if a preposition is dative or accusative ? ... EGG is here to help. Thank you Guy Stern and E.F> Bleiler.

I bought this book with little knowledge of the German language. It's very organized and well thought out. It is for the beginner with a limited amount of time. These 120 some pages contain EVERY BASIC thing you would need to learn about German grammar. I wouldnt recommend using this book alone. I use language tapes with this book. A downfall is it doesnt show how to pronounce the words. But otherwise, there is no other book for a beginner to use to grasp a basic understanding of the German language than "Essential German Grammar" --Peace Out

Clearly written, compact and concise. This book explains all the essentials of German grammar in easy to understand terms. This is a great refresher for those who already have learned some German.

What a pleasure!!! There finally is a book out that is written so that anyone can pick it up and get the information she needs. Whether you are 15 or 50, this book talks to you without being too complicated or simplistic. Furthermore, it is funny. I found myself sitting on the bus and chuckling at parts of it. As someone who works with a lot of high school students, I will make sure to keep a copy in my office so that anyone can pick it up while waiting.

39 full text poems focusing on the Age of Goeth (1749-18320. There are pictures of the poets and they do not lose anything in the translation. You can go back and forth from left to right and see what the German is in small in small bites to start to think both languages instead of translating. Just don't go around talking like that.
