[Alex · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a good book for a detailed crash course in German. It takes out the practice questions and readings that can clutter a textbook, and gives you just the information with examples. I like to refer to it when I'm beginning to learn something new (as a sort of launchpad) or need to refresh. Since German doesn't have its own equivalent of the French Bescherelle*, the verb charts are very useful.


*There does exist a German Bescherelle but the Bescherelle was designed for French and does not accommodate German verbs as effectively at the time of writing this.

This one of the best book to learn german grammar in details.

[Dónal Murray · Rating 5 out of 5]

A concise and no-nonsense approach to language learning. The first section can be read front to back, whereas the middle section is more for reference after a quick scan.

These verb tables been helping a lot the past two months. Also the vocabulary is a good way to build flash cards, with the verbs giving a lot of example sentences.
