Book Reviews of Essential German Grammar (Dover Language Guides Essential Grammar)
Book Review: Great companion to Rosetta Stone
Summary: 5 Stars
I completed all 5 levels of Rosetta Stone but still didn't quite understand some of the grammar and rules for word usage. This book is excellent for clearing up confusing concepts and with teaching compound words. Additionally, you don't have to remember what each tense (present perfect, accusative, past participle, etc.) means from English classes taken long ago. There are plenty of examples of forms in English and their German counterparts that don't require you to revisit high school English to get. After 5 levels of Rosetta Stone, I was still confused with when to use war and wurde because they both seemed to mean "was" to me. This book made me understand it instantly!! Some have remarked the lack of use of the du/ihr forms, but I applaud the author for keeping it simple. If you use the Sie form of something with your close friend or relative because you do not know the du/ihr form, they will not be offended since they will know you are learning. A mistake the other way around though could be construed as offensive. Great book, but it will not be all you need to master German.
