In all 28 chapters this book teaches one or more grammatical structures, points, or idioms, both through the readings and dialogues which begin the chapter and the oral and written exercises which follow. These language topics are arranged to correspond with the order in which they are most often taken up in basic German textbooks, and thus offer both diversion and additional practice for first-year students. Emil and his friends have helped both undergraduates and adult education students learn German and enjoy it.
