Essential German Grammar: Volume 1 (Essential Language Grammars) - Softcover

The description of German offered to the student is clear and accesible, but we are nevertheless not given a misleadingly simplistic and decontextualised picture of modern German.

Essential German Grammer is eminently suitable for learning and revision purposes in the sixth form. It is an extremely well put together volume and can teach many teachers a thing or two and introduce some of them to a thoroughly modern approach to grammar and methodology.
