Learn a Second Language

I picked this book up without looking closely enough at the actual exercises, of which there are many. I should have noticed that they actually require a fairly advanced German Vocabulary to even complete the simplest of drills. This was noticeable even at the very first set of exercises.

If you are somewhat advanced in your German vocabulary though, this may be very helpful as there are very many drills and exercises that follow the explanations of usage. It’s just really not something a beginning German student would be able to use as its just too frustrating to complete the drill/exercises when you don’t really understand what the words mean. A beginner would just require too much time spent using a dictionary.

If you’re a beginner I would suggest a grammar book that offers a more balanced presentation of information; one that starts the student at the beginning and requires little, if any, prior knowledge of German.

I should probably condition my rating as being ‘2 stars’ if your a beginner and ‘4 stars’ if your advanced enough in your overall German to be able to understand the exercises.
