This grammar book is concise but complete, entirely in German and includes a wide range of exercises which expose students at beginner level to the correct use of the rules of the German language. The explanations are set out accurately but using straightforward language and are also accompanied by examples.

Arbeitsgrammatik is also suitable for those who already have a good knowledge of German because it enables revision and consolidation of the grammar rules.
Each unit is divided into two parts: in the first part the grammar structure is explained in a clear and concise way; in the second part there are a series of exercises in order of increasing difficulty, from controlled practice to dialogues and communicative activities. The progression of rules and exercises is in line with the most widely-used language courses. The vocabulary used in the exercises also increases in difficulty and quantity throughout the book. For this reason there is a Wortschatz, a list of new vocabulary, which students can use to help them do the exercises.

Arbeitsgrammatik can be used for self study – both for learning and revising grammar structures, as a summer holiday workbook or alongside a German textbook. The answer key is available for those who use the book for self study.
