Customer Reviews

Because basically you learn best through practise!
This book is meant to be used in conjunction with the "Hammer's German Grammar and it's usage" third edition (though it could probably be used with other editions, i don't know how they differ). As with the Hammer's grammar, it's not for beginners, but it is an essential if you are studying German at a higher level. I used throughout my degree and found it invaluable then, but it might even help A-level students. There are spaces to fill in your answers, but I preferred to write them on a seperate piece of paper, so that i could always try the exercises again. If you're not sure, rather than go straight to the answers, there is always a reference to Hammer's so that you can check the rule again.
