Langenscheidt Kurzgrammatik Deutsch
Langenscheidt Kurzgrammatik Deutsch is the concise grammar from Langenscheidt: the whole system of German grammar, compressed by a house that has taught languages for over a century and a half into the shortest honest form — rule, table, example, done.
A Kurzgrammatik makes a different promise from a textbook: not to teach you German, but to answer you — the case after this preposition, the ending on this adjective, the plural of this noun — in the thirty seconds the question allows, in print designed to be found at speed.
It is written for learners of German at every level who keep a grammar within reach: students mid-homework, translators mid-sentence, teachers mid-lesson, and self-teachers who have graduated from their coursebook and now need the reference the coursebook kept promising.
Concise grammars live or die by their finding system, and Langenscheidt’s is a masterclass: chapters ordered as learners actually ask, tables that carry the system’s weight so the prose can stay short, examples at every rule, and an index that treats the reader’s half-remembered question as a real query. The coverage is the full grammar — nouns and their plurals, articles and cases, adjectives, pronouns, the verb in all its tenses and moods, word order, negation, the passive, reported speech — each topic given its rule, its table, its exceptions, and nothing else. That discipline is the book’s kindness: a reference consulted fifty times a term must not waste ten seconds on any of them. It is the grammar for the desk’s edge and the school bag’s side pocket — the one that is open before the question has finished forming.

About This Book
German grammar is a system of perhaps two hundred decisions; this book is those decisions, indexed. Langenscheidt’s Kurzgrammatik distils the reference shelf into a volume small enough to live where the questions happen — and fast enough to answer them there.
What Readers Will Find
The Whole Grammar, Compressed
Every department of the system in its shortest complete form: the noun and its plural, the case system entire, adjective declension, the pronouns, the full verb — tenses, Konjunktiv, passive, modals — word order in main and subordinate clauses, prepositions and their cases, comparison, negation, and sentence linking.
Tables That Do the Work
The paradigms are the book: declension and conjugation laid out so the eye lands on the needed form without reading — the design philosophy of a publisher that has been formatting other people’s certainty since the nineteenth century.
Examples and Exceptions
No rule stands naked: each carries its example sentence, and the irregular — the strong verbs, the odd plurals, the exceptions learners actually trip on — is listed where the rule would otherwise mislead.
Key Features
Speed is the feature: question to answer in under a minute, by design of layout, ordering and index. Completeness in miniature is the second — nothing of the standard grammar is sacrificed to the size — and Langenscheidt authority the third: the yellow house’s rules are the ones classrooms already teach.
Who This Book Is For
It is for learners of German from A2 upward as a permanent companion, students revising for examinations, translators and professionals writing German at work, and teachers who want one class reference that answers instead of explaining at length.
How to Use This Book
Keep it where you write: the book’s purpose is the mid-task consultation — check the ending, the case, the order, apply, and continue, the correction becoming habit through repetition. For revision, work its chapters against your own error list; for examinations, its tables are the final week’s best pages. When a question outgrows concision, graduate to the full grammars — this book will have told you exactly which topic to read.
