German for Reading

Description

German for Reading presupposes no previous acquaintance with German and can be used with equal effectiveness by graduate students in the arts and sciences who are preparing to pass a reading knowledge examination, or by undergraduates who are beginning to deal seriously with the problems of reading.

Its programmed format permits it to be used either as a classroom text or by individuals working on their own.

The second edition builds on strengths of the first while updating outdated terminology, removing terms and phrases no longer in use, and incorporating many revisions made in light of suggestions from readers.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Praised for its clear organisation, the book focuses on decoding meaning from context with abundant examples rather than complex grammar explanations. Exercises provide helpful hints for language usage and exceptions, offering a rich selection for self-learning. Readers appreciate inclusion of texts connected to familiar German history and culture, enhancing engagement.
