Helpful book

The way the book is organized is the most helpful. I would suggest it for anyone looking for a quick easy way to improve his/her German skills.

BUY IT!

I am hot and heavy for learning German. I use most of the Duden series, I taught German for 5 years, and I now reside in Germany. "Guide to German Idioms," was a great introduction to the soul of the German language: idiomatic expressions. It's well-organized chapters, table of contents, and index can lead you to almost any subject area. Whether you want to better understand Der Spiegel magazine, or simply want to beef up your vocabulary to impress your German friends, buy this book, and learn it by heart.
