Really improved my German!

As an upper intermediate speaker of German, this book pushed me to being advanced. My grammar is almost perfect after applying the elements of this book. I encourage anybody who is wanting to work on grammar and general fluency to use this book. I can't say that I have seen the second edition, but I will put that on my to-do list. I wish I could find such a good book for French grammar...

EXCELLENT

I was a total biginner of German, who didn't even know what 'Guten Tag' meant. But I learned German grammer by myself with this book literally in two months, and after a year of German self-teaching, I got an internship offer in Germany (of course conducted in German). Now I have no problem conversing with German people. I strongly recommend this book.

Complete grammar review

For an intermediate German student who needs to revise grammar, this is an easy to follow book with concise explanations and good exercises. Also, each chapter includes new words and, especially helpful, idioms which one would not find in a dictionary. This is not for a beginner, nor for someone fluent in German.

One of the best German grammar books I've seen

Two years ago, as a freshman at Central College (Pella, IA), we used this book (edited by our professor). We felt the book was very well written, well divided, and very helpful. However, we paid less that the list price shown.
