"good for beginners only - has one serious lack"
This book was initially very helpful in my first quarter; however, the "du/ihr" form is omitted from discussion and conjugation of verbs. The author says you will hardly need it as you will mostly be using the formal form of address; HOWEVER, I have not found this to be true. You will hear the du/ihr form all around you and sometimes you will be included in that "ihr". Also, you will hear it on the news and in music lyrics and see it in writing. Even if you don't use "du/ihr" that much in the beginning (always wait for the native speaker to invite you to use "du"), why not learn it from the first rather than later having to go back and try to add it. When I was 12 and started learning Spanish, my teacher told us we didn't have to worry about the "Vosotros" form, but I went ahead and learned anyway and by golly I have used it and needed it.
If you really want to learn German (and not a few phrases or very simple things to say), you will find yourself looking for increasingly comprehensive grammars.

"not good"
I don't like how this book organizes the nouns into five groups. It's so confusing. My German professor taught me a simpler way of knowing the plural forms of nouns. This book doesn't use the "du" or "ihr" forms, and it doesn't use the ß.

"Great Help with German Grammar"
This book is very informative. I took German quite a few years ago and find this book great for a refresher course in the Grammar. Many people tend to think that German is a difficult language, but really it isn't once you know the the grammar, the cases etc. A must for anyone taking German.

"Not worth a nickel"
Although the book presents itself as a grammar guide, it actually only contains pages of mostly worthless rules on the gender of nouns. If you want excercises or to actually learn grammar, then don't buy this book. I would recommend "501 German Verbs".

"Rechtschreibreform"
In case anyone wants to know how a book written in the 60's can use the Rechtschreibreform it was republished in 2002. Also this was my main concern in buying this book because I want a good reference when I start my german course.

What our customer's say!

"Good Stuff", This book has helped me understand a lot of the intricacies of the German language. Based on that I would say it is a very worthy purchase for one to have. But, it is not a book written for those who are not fluent on grammatical technical terms. I found myself a little lost at times, when the author would very non-challantly explain that something was just a matter of the "subjunctive predicative to the second power of the reversed megablaster future tense"...I know, I'm just joking, but I'm sure some of the readers understand what I mean.
Having said that, I still say it is a good book for students of German such as myself. You'll just have to dust off your grammar lingo, that's all!

"Small Book Packs a Punch.", This book is great for quick reference and study. It has all sorts of rules and charts for memorizing German Grammar. Small book, but lots of information.

-Dr. Kenneth

"Good Reference Book", Very good for help with writting and basic but complex phases. You know the ones we don't use. This and my German/English Dictionary sit together.

"Clear and Concise.", I have been in the process of teaching myself German for the last few months. This is an excellent suppliment for comprehending the intricate ins and outs of German grammer. Sentances are provided with the litteral german-to-english tranlation as well as the intended meanting translation. I find this feature particularly helpful.

Examples are plentyful and explained very well. I believe it would be beneficial as a brush up or as a first time learner like myself. Worth the minor financial investment.

"On the advanced side", I bought this book for my son who is trying to learn how to speak German. It looked like an informative book and, for the price, was worth it. I bought another beginners book and a CD to augment the "Essential German Grammar" book. This book looks like it will be VERY handy in the future but, for now, is a bit advanced. Inside it recommends that you have a significant German vocabulary before utilizing the book. I gave this book 5 stars because of the content and sentence structure instructions but I would NOT recommend this book as a sole guide for learning to speak German. Use it in addition with other instruction tools.

"Muss man dieses Buch zu kaufen?", Für diejenigen unter euch, die das verstehen, was ich hier schreibe, ist es wohl nicht wirklich nötig dieses Buch zu kaufen. Ein jeder Ansatz ist gut und hilft auch immer weiter bei der Übersetzung; Also niemals verzagen und es weiter versuchen.

Ich kann dieses Buch also all denen empfehlen, die Probleme mit dem Text hier oder der Grammatik haben.
Alle anderen dürfen sich freuen, denn diese haben dann schon einiges auf den Kasten und haben es nicht wirklich nötig dieses Buch zu kaufen.
Wer will, kann ja mal bei amazon.de vorbeischauen und sich dort ein wenig nach deutschen Romanen oder Hörbüchern umschauen.

Ich hoffe mal, dass das hier eine kleine Hilfe für euch alle war.

"amazing!", this book truly deserves five stars. all the other reviews are right on. it is an incredibly helpful piece of art. of course you can't expect this book to be the only one you'll need to learn german, but without it you'll more than likely find yourself drowning in a pool of confusing grammatical terms, having to go back and read the same sentence over and over until you understand it. this is one of the books, however, where you can read a page in one, clean sweep and understand it clearly. A+ for using the Rechtschreibreform, (the new german spelling reform) but i don't understand how it does so when it was written in the 60s.......

if you're a beginner or want to brush up, buy this. don't think about it. buy it.

"Help where I most needed it", This book is an excellent compilation of German Grammer. I have used it extensively in the three years I have been studying the language. Its compact and easy layout are wonderful when you need to find information on any sort of grammer snafu. I heartily recommend it to anyone.

"Only with it", Only with this book at hand, should you dare to study German. The ultimate reference guide, especially for those using textbooks for German classes that seem more concerned about German culture and glossy pages than thorough explanation of grammar. Forget if a preposition is dative or accusative ? ... EGG is here to help. Thank you Guy Stern and E.F> Bleiler.

"Very clear", I bought this book with little knowledge of the German language. It's very organized and well thought out. It is for the beginner with a limited amount of time. These 120 some pages contain EVERY BASIC thing you would need to learn about German grammar. I wouldnt recommend using this book alone. I use language tapes with this book. A downfall is it doesnt show how to pronounce the words. But otherwise, there is no other book for a beginner to use to grasp a basic understanding of the German language than "Essential German Grammar" --Peace Out
