Reviews
«April Wilson is to be congratulated for her clear, logical and concise presentations of German grammar to which the proverbs add much life and human insight. She has provided the profession with a superb pedagogical tool, and anybody studying German for reading knowledge or simply reviewing German grammar should be thankful that this book exists.» (Wolfgang Mieder, University of Vermont) «Based on April Wilson_s very popular reading course for students in the University of Chicago community, _German Quickly_ is an absolute delight. It is witty, lively and exciting. The on-going adventures of Fräulein Meier and the mailman entice readers from one lesson to the next, and having them translate extracts from Nietzsche, Goethe, Buber and other literary heavyweights instills a definite sense of accomplishment as they progress. Explanations of the grammar combine wonderful clarity with a sympathetic ear to the beginner_s difficulties. This newly revised edition is to be warmly welcomed.» (Jonardon Ganeri, University of Liverpool), April Wilson is to be congratulated for her clear, logical and concise presentations of German grammar to which the proverbs add much life and human insight.

    The textbook was better than described. It looks like brand new! The price was appropriate for the type of textbook that it is. The appearance and quality of the textbook was impeccable. The shipping took about 2 weeks to arrive, but the textbook was well worth the wait. Seller packaged my textbook beautifully which ensured that it arrived unharmed and in perfect condition. Excellent seller! I would purchase more items from this seller in the future!
