I am a current German student at my local community college and this book has helped me with my grammar. I am very impressed with the layout of the book it's self. The way they break down the grammar section by section. It has really helped me improve my grade. The author use simple terminology for everyone to understand and gives a great explanation with helpful examples. I am amazed at how easy grammar can be for German, and how parallel it is to the English language.
I really wish I would have bought this LAST YEAR for use during my first year of German. Being a writer, I already KNOW English grammar fairly well, so I didn't consider it a book I needed. But I was having a LOT of trouble with German grammar issues, and now in my second year, I NEED to be able to use German and understand the grammar. Getting this book has been a real lifesaver for me. Because this book goes through each part of grammar rule by rule and compares English grammar to German grammar, you can see exactly where and how things are different. This makes it so much easier for you to compose proper sentences in German, the way they are supposed to be. If you are having any trouble whatsoever with German Grammar, I really recommend you get this book. It really does help A LOT.
I teach German as a TA at the university and at my job at a German-owned company. Much of what I know about the language is simply "gut feel" from the time that I've lived there - making answering students' tough questions on grammar difficult at times. This book was recommended to be by a colleague whom I respect very much, and it's definitely worth a look. Before you learn how grammar works in a foreign language you need to understand how it works in your own. This book has parallel examples for both English and German and I love it.
