It has been said, that when people are learning a new language, they find out many things about their own language. The author(s) of this book take this frame of mind into account. Right from the beginning of the book they guide you from basic grammar to more complex structures, always explaining how these structures are used in German and English. I was able to borrow this book from my Germany teacher, so I am unable (leider) now to list some of the terms that are discussed in this book, but please take my word that this book is worth it. In Fact, I am going to buy it right now in preparation for my trip to Germany.

A great re-introduction to English grammer. Clearly laid out, easy to follow with abundant examples. It is vital that the English-speaking student of German has a clear grasp of their own grammer before they can begin to understand the complex grammatical rules of the German language. This book does a good job of showing the relationship between English and German grammer.


A perfect slim primer, espcially if you've been out of school for awhile   September 15, 2007

I took German in college in 1979, so when I started a refresher German course earlier this year, I picked this up in a college bookstore. Wow, what a life saver! Since I did not have sentence diagramming in grade school, my language skills have always been intuitive, with this book it's all laid out neatly and easily in front of you. EGFSG cleared up many questions that I had regarding clauses, objects of a preposition, etc.

Sit down for an hour or two and read the short concise chapters, it's an amazing little book. It even helps your English day to day.

Who says Grammar has to be boring?
