Sometimes it feels like german is so hard that the rules arent impossible to master but that the rules actually change as soon as you feel youve mastered them

Its like whoever put this volume together read mark twains famed essay the awful german language and designed a workbook specifically to address those concepts that english speakers just cant wrap their heads around when it comes to mastering german

Things like double infinitives and the even stranger passive voice sentences what i call the gehabt haben worden sei nightmare are treated in depth but not at some ridiculous length as are the tricky irregularities that make it feel like trying to find footing in german by looking for rules is a game of grammatical whackamole

My grandma taught me how to read the old style lettering and how to pronounce german when i was just 6 years old but unfortunately she didnt translate for me

German items are not rare forms but the grammar twists in everyday language

As to typo in my first printing edition of january 2013 it strongly seems that the page 111 examples must correct the page 110 two general rule sentences

Thus to match the page 111 examples an accented prefix is a separable prefix whereas an unaccented prefix is an inseparable prefix not the reverse said on page 110
