Basic German (Routledge Grammar Workbooks)

This book is so helpful for learning German grammar. I’ve been using a popular app for learning German but wanted more explicit instruction about “the rules” (why “zum” instead of “zur”, for example). This book is user-friendly and includes exercises for practice with each concept introduced. Highly recommend it

Clear explanations. I was hesitant to spend 40 dollars on a mini paperback, but it had good reviews and from the book preview, the explanations seemed unusually clear.It's definitely worth the money. The authors put a lot of thought into making German as easy to learn as possible. The organization of the chapters and concepts, the extensive answer key, and the little "blurbs" that re-clarify oft-confused grammatical concepts are a real jewel.

This is one of the best book you can have to learn German, IMHO. The teachings are clear and concise. It is worth every cents of the price. In fact, I recommended to my entire german class to purchase this book.However, after checking with the writers, we also confirmed that there was some publishing errors in this edition 2 (the errors were not in edition 1).1. Page 88: 2nd person dativ plural for 'you (informal)' should be 'Ihnen' instead of 'Sie'2. Page 88: 3rd person dativ plural for 'they' should be 'Ihnen' instead of 'sie'3. Page 88: 3rd person dativ singular for 'it' should be 'ihm' instead of 'es'Similar printing errors were on page 90 too. Good luck!

This is a really good book for someone who is taking classes. It cuts through to the main points in a very clear fashion. If you are trying to learn on your own, this might be a little over your head. However, you could use it as a reference in addition to any other book you are using as a tutorial. I really like the format. They give you the essence of the topic at the start of the chapter, then provide sub sections that go into more detail. I would recommend this to anyone.

Clear, structured, and easy to follow. Helped me get started with studying German grammar in earnest.

Really quality outlook of grammar and sentence structures in German. This book did a wonderful job of detailing grammar and comparing it to English to help build bridges in learning. The exercises are extremely helpful and really solidify key components in each chapter. Highly recommend this book!

Structured perfectly, makes German very easy to learn

This book goes in-depth on all the major German grammar concepts and includes self-check exercises. I'm using this book for review but I think this is an excellent resource for self-learning.
