Schaum's Outlines of German Vocabulary

A good vocab book if learning German! Easy to learn vocabulary words and simple exercises with answer key. Also divides words into categories (shopping, at the bank, at the airport, etc). Comes with appendix of other vocab words too. It would be best to have the other part of it; the Schaum Outline of German Grammar to go along with, to learn grammar at the same time. Easy to learn workbook for doing german at school or independent studies!

Great for practice, reference, study, and more! There's not much more to say about this great little workbook. One the most used books in my German Library. Helps before tests and exams, plus gives an organized way to assist your learning. -Dr. Kenneth

This book is a great tool for improving one's vocabulary in German. It focusses on specific areas, provides the words for that area, and has some exercises to review the words. A good book to enhance one's learning German, at the intermediate level.

The Outline is fantastic for individuals studying German for pleasure and travel. It is thorough and very well written. I have learned and enjoyed the learning experience at the same time. Highly reccomend for all studying German as a second language.

I used the equivelent of this book in an upper-division Spanish class that I took; I found it truly broadens the vocabulary tremendously. I feel, however, that both of these workbooks, although useful, require a foundation in the syntax of the language for full appreciation of what the authors/editors are trying to do. However, the exercises may be completed without the background.Especially useful for preparation for travelling and specialized vocabulary (ie. computer, car, etc. etc.)
