    Hey, can anyone recommend a good german grammar book?
    I'm mainly looking for something that focuses on prepositions (those things do my head in!!!) but anything will really do at this stage. All I have now is "intermediate German for dummies" but...yeah...it's not great :rolleyes:

    Anyway, I have a link of some books that are apparently great, but as I said before, I'd just like some good recommendations...(I never realised how big that word was until now):eek:

    Thanks

    Google "Chambers German Verbs" and "Chambers German Grammar". They're very small, cheap books, and I find them great.

    Thanks man! I went & bought it yesterday, it's really good! I was expecting something that had about 500 pages, but when I saw the size of it I was a bit relieved! (more relieved when I realised it was actually helpful!;))

    There's only one or two really good grammar books out there for any language and for German one of them is A Practice Grammar of German by Verlag fuer Deutsch.

    It's a serious grammar book and complete and you will find in the language book stores off Nassau Street or on Westland row, I don't the names of the shops though.

    Hope that helps.

    Oh God! Brings back bad memories :) The litte red book....It is very comprehensive as a grammar guide, you probably won't find a more comprehensive German grammar book, tbh.
