German Verbs in COLOUR, An Atlas of German Verb Architecture

Do not memorize! Instead observe, take in, allow your associative memory to sort it out and absorb intuitively. Verbs are the most important part of speech of any language. German verbs are not only that, they are also building blocks for constructing other words. But they are not immutable units the way English verbs are. They are mechanisms with moving parts, as it were. This book will help you to take on an often dreaded subject - German verbs and their conjugation - as if it were a stroll among colourful houses of an old town. The way to learn how to walk around this town without getting lost is by following its streets, enjoying the picturesque surroundings, and gradually starting to feel at home.To guide you, the book explains verb conjugation in terms of colours, rather than just listing rules and exceptions. Then it presents charts of all conjugation models of the modern German language and how they apply to 920 German verbs.
