follow. These wide-ranging and varied exercises enable the student to
master each grammar point thoroughly.

German
- Authentic language samples from a range of media
- Checklists at the end of each unit to reinforce key points

points and insights into current usage of German

The new edition has been thoroughly revised, including more varied
exercises for practice, and grammar points have been reformulated to use
a more learner-centred approach.
Suitable for independent study and for class use, Basic German: A
Grammar and Workbook is the ideal reference and practice book for
beginners, as well as for students with some knowledge of the language.
