Idioms in one place
Since German is a very idiomatic language, such a book as "German Idioms" is an extremely useful tool. It makes it much easier to find any idiomatic use of a particular word along with examples.

Dictionary of German Slang and Colloquial Expressions (Dict of Foreign Lang. Slang)

Very amusing
This book is an amusing collection of German slang and is in this way a superior, though different, book from Strutz's "German Idioms," published by Barron's. "German Slang" contains some slightly racy, street-wise German that's sure to amuse almost everyone. Some of it, of course, can be spicy. German teachers should look up "Sprachmufti"--a definition I wound up memorizing--"Er haelt sich ...

Mann lernt nie aus!
I didn't purchase this book from Amazon, but still think it's worth reviewing. One of the most difficult aspects of learning an unfamiliar language is the elusive "figure of speech." Literally translated into gibberish, these phrases need to be known to truly capture the full effect of German. The book has an easy to follow layout. It lists the keyword (Ger) and definition (Eng), a short ...

Love it
I really love this new edition of Strutz's text. This improves on the old version in its look and overall layout, plus it includes 27 written verb exercises with answers and explanations and a bonus CD-ROM. Granted the CD-ROM isn't extensive (hey, it's free), but it has a handful more of different types of exercises which, like the written exercises, gives you answers plus explanations. It's ...

Achtung!
Henry Strutz was an associate professor of languages at State University of New York in Alfred, New York, when he put this book together. The volume I have has a publication date of 1972 - this is, however, the kind of book that doesn't really go out of date. Language does change, but the basics of languages remain steady over several generations in general, and German is no exception. The basic ...

A Great Addition to any German Learner's Library
I've noted that a few of the reviews for this book are doubtful as to whether or not it's sufficient enough to learn German with. I can answer that question: no, it's not. What's more is, it's not supposed to be! This book is geared towards going over all of the most common mistakes and problems that an English speaker who is learning German will encounter in their studies. All of the ...

Indispensable
This is a great book. I was first introduced to this series with the French book in high school. The German book is just as good. Absolutely indispensable for anyone learning a language.

Handy, but....
This compact little phrase book is packed with useful words, phrases, and interesting cultural notes that should be more than sufficient for most tourists and business travellers. I especially enjoy the part about food (that's the most important thing, isn't it?) But of course it is not a substitute for learning German formally. In fact, I wonder if I would appreciate this book as much if I ...

FINALLY a reference book where Excellent != Expensive
I'll be the first to admit that French is my secondary language. But what was the deal: I who have read Molière in the original, who correspond with actual Frenchmen in their language (without-I might boast-sounding like a dolt), and who reads ParisMatch with no problem was staring at the sentences on AOL's French Chat as if they were...well...written in a foreign language. "Es-tu MEC?" ...

Haven't traveled with it yet but been studying it before my trip...
I just got this two days ago (might as well buy it at the bookstore since its the same price and you don't have to wait forever to have it shipped). It's cute and compact and seems perfect for a trip to Europe. I will be traveling to countries that speak French, German and Italian in September and I'm hoping this turns out to be useful. Will let you know...but so far it has covered quite a few ...
