German Grammar in a Nutshell / Deutsche Grammatik -- Kurz Und Schmerzlos [first edition]

German Grammar concepts explained in English in simple terms with entertaining, often amusing, usage examples. Simple mnemonics aid understanding and retention. Unique to "kurz und schmerzlos" is the presentation of grammar in a communicative progression rather than the traditional paradigm-oriented progression. Grammar is taught as the learner is likely to need it either in a classroom setting or in an immersion situation, not simply to complete a grammatical model. Exercises and illustrations complete the learning experience. Excellent grammar companion to any basic text series.
