Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a wide-ranging collection of translated extracts from German prose writing for intermediate learners, guiding them through sentence construction, grammar, and the finer points of the German language. The original German prose has been carefully chosen by the author from the works of established and respected German authors, representing a variety of styles. The extracts have then been translated into English, with the accompanying notes and commentary elucidating the grammatical and syntactical rules that govern the German language. The author has arranged the extracts into three progressive parts, providing exercises at the end of each part to test students' comprehension and ability to apply the rules. Within the extracts, there is a good deal of thematic variety, ranging from natural history and folklore to historical events and contemporary social issues. The author takes a systematic approach to the subject matter, laying out clearly and methodically the rules of the language and providing guidance on how to apply them to writing. Throughout, the author is cognisant of the challenges faced by learners and offers helpful advice and practical examples to aid understanding. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
