Title: German for Reading Knowledge by Hubert Jannach, Richard Alan Korb ISBN: 0-8384-7835-2 Publisher: Heinle Pub. Date: 11 July, 1997 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $68.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.5 (4 reviews)

Summary: Getting to the point
Comment: This is a great book to use in conjunction with a course, not on your own. FIU is offering a course that goes by the same title, which makes the understanding of the grammer easier to digest. If you are serious about learning to decipher German text, or just want to become fluent in another language, I suggest you enroll in a basic German I course, so that it all comes together. With this book I have moved forward in my knowledge faster than I did when I just took German I for a full semester. If you are serious about learning, this is a great handbook.
Rating: 2
Summary: Tedious and unclear
Comment: This book is not a great value. It does not explain German grammar with the clarity found in April Wilson's "German Quickly" or even Sandburg and Wendell's "German for Reading." It is particularly weak when explaining prepositions and the extended adjective construction, and it does not give pragmatic advice about figuring out the various crucial elements in a German sentence. Moreover, the exercise sentences are dull, and not worth the effort needed to translate them. This book is a classic mainly because German teachers are too lazy to seek out substitutes.
Rating: 4
Summary: Excellent but tough.
Comment: Worth every penny of the price. Good for a strong foundation in German grammar and phrase construction.
