Die Klare Grammatik

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language that goes to his heart.” ‒ Nelson Mandela
Mandela’s saying goes to the head and the heart indeed!
Living in a German speaking country entails certainly mastering German language. The point here is not only communicating smoothly with people but having a mean of relating to others on cultural level, what surely minimizes the feeling of alienation and decreases the distances between the “foreigners” the native speakers. This is exactly the meaning of reaching peoples’ heart as Mandela said.
Is this book your choice to achieve such goal?
German Basic Grammar for English Speakers is undoubtedly your choice to establish a solid ground in German Grammar. One can learn from daily interactions with Germans and memorize plenty of phrases, idioms and words, but probably finds difficulties in understanding texts and articles and even stories and novels or writing a coherent message, given his ignorance of basic Grammar. This book is dedicated to all English speakers (whether English was their native language or not). It is formulated in simple and plain English and covers all the basic Grammar for the beginners from level A1 till B1 Level and a little beyond.
What is unique about this book?
German Basic Grammar for English Speakers was firstly composed to Arabic speakers who want to learn German. The Arabic version is the base upon which we build the English version. There are mutual traits between Arabic and German in terms of Grammar and declension. Declension plays a crucial role in comprehending German, since the endings of the words (nouns, adjectives... etc.) change, just like Arabic, according to the declensional case in the context. In our innovative methodology, we utilized the Parsing, which is very critical in mastering Arabic, for this book to give the learner a new mean to analyze the sentence word by word, and to understand the position and the case of each word.
This book is a creative combination of three languages devoted for English speakers. We consider such combination one of the best ways from which the learner can move forward to the higher levels in German confidently and fluently.
How can I benefit from this book?
Everyone prefers to follow certain path in his/her Learning-German journey. Some people work hard to accumulate new words and sentences, others prefer to watch movies or to hear songs repeatedly or to give more time for daily interaction with Germans. All these ways are particularly good and surely helpful. But are they sufficient to understand sophisticated context and formulate a meaningful conversation or text fluently?
Learning a language, any language, is like building a house. The stronger the base the sustainer the house, and Grammar is undeniably the base.
