German for reading

Designed for readers with no prior knowledge of German, this guide teaches the skill of reading the language. It serves graduate students in the arts and sciences who must pass a reading proficiency exam, and undergraduates who are starting to work through German texts in earnest.

The material is arranged as a programmed sequence, so it can anchor a classroom course or be worked through independently. This second edition keeps what made the first one useful, replaces dated terminology, drops expressions that have fallen out of use, and incorporates many changes made in response to feedback from readers.
