German Grammar Step-by-Step is based on an innovative and hugely successful teaching approach dubbed "the Vaughan method", a self-study format that has sold over 15 million books in Spain alone. The secret behind this methods success is a strong focus on spoken agility and pronunciation while at the same time equipping the learner with a real understanding of the structure of the language. Over the course of 180 Steps (or "Schritte"), German Grammar Step-by-Step lays out the fundamental grammatical concepts for students of all levels in a clear and accessible way. Combined with a wide variety of practical examples, pronunciation tips, study advice and translation practice exercises, the book effectively builds up the learners ability and confidence speaking German. It has a comprehensive appendix complete with lists of common verbs, typical mistakes, everyday expressions, as well as a pronunciation guide and much more. A key feature of this book is the accompanying audio (over 6 hours) that consists of dynamic and stimulating downloadable classes, which help the student put into practice the concepts taught in each step.
