German Grammar in Context

The best way to bring the grammar of a language to life is by experiencing it in context, as it’s actually used by native speakers and writers. Designed for intermediate and advanced students, the books in this series put foreign grammar into context for students with an array of engaging texts, including newspaper articles, song lyrics, literary texts, and even transcriptions from TV talk shows.

Throughout, elements of grammar that are especially difficult for English speakers are highlighted.

Featuring excerpts from everything from political debates to German sitcoms, Freud to recipes for sausage and sauerkraut, German Grammar in Contextoffers a unique approach to mastering one of the most exacting of European grammars.
