German grammar, German textbook -- 3d year, German textbook 

Written to fill the need for a core text in German conversation and composition courses, Der treffende Ausdruck addresses head-on the needs of third-year students.

In each chapter:
Grammatisches reviews the essential topics of second-year grammar and presents new material that deepens and refines students' language skills. Each topic is clearly explained and amply drilled.

Das passende Wort offers word usage studies that clarify and illustrate the differences among similar (and often-confused) words.

A brief, contemporary reading provides a rich source of conversation and composition topics. Author introductions, glosses, and a vocabulary list help students understand each reading; content and theme questions encourage a deeper consideration.

In addition Der treffende Ausdruck provides: concise reviews of the most frequently used flavoring particles, a kleine Briefschule on the mechanics of writing business and personal letters, end-of-chapter grammar and vocabulary review exercises, a thorough German-English end vocabulary.
