In my 35 years of teaching German language and culture at the university level, I have found that the best foundation for learning a foreign language is a thorough knowledge of its grammatical structure. One then can fit vocabulary and pronunciation into that structure. This WWW resource is designed to provide a concise, easily navigable overview of German grammar. It also provides numerous exercises for practicing specific grammatical structures and developing accurate pronunciation.
Although this cannot completely supplant a live teacher in a classroom, it can support self-paced learning and review. I hope that those who want to learn German for enrichment or need it for professional advancement will find this resource useful. I am eager to receive comments from both learners and teachers on its applicability, and how it can be improved.
