Customer Reviews

helpful workbook

This workbook is great for helping someone brush up on existing German skills, as well as the complete beginner. It has an easy and informative format.

Great for German drills

Verbs drive language - so this is an essential for learning the basics in German. I'm still working at it and have many guides. I consider this one of the best: neatly laid out and well organized.

Great for learning and practicing

This is similar in format to a high school workbook- which is a great thing. Each chapter focuses on a different type of verb conjugation, providing an explanation and examples before progressing to a series of exercises allowing the reader to put their new knowledge to work (answers can be found in the back of the book). The book is aimed at someone who posseses some basic knowledge of the language; a modest vocabulary and a basic understanding of the simpler facets of the language would be a prerequisite for getting the most from this guide. I am engaging in a course of self study, and after working with some basic online classes and memorizing a few hundred words, I have found this book to be a great asset. When studying from it, I take notes and use my German-English dictionary in addition to '500 German' verbs to better comprehend the lessons and fill in in areas I am unsure of. If you are learning or reviewing German, this is definitely a must-have.

Practice makes perfect

This workbook assumes a working knowledge of German, and provides nearly a hundred exercises that aim to provide mastery of all conjugations for each tense.

Serves Its Purpose Well

This book is not exciting or fancy--no pictures, dialogs, humor, etc.. But if what you want is step-by-step practice with German verbs, then you will find it here. Useful for any student with about half a year of German or more, it provides explanations for most kinds of German verb patterns and conjugations and gives lots of practice. As the first reviewer said, it would go will other courses or programs to provide extra reinforcement in learning the semi-complicated German verb system. It's boring, but hey, it works.
