More than 2,000 German idioms are listed with their English language meanings in this updated edition. Each entry defines the idiom and presents an idiomatic phrase in a model sentence in both German and English. This pocket-size book makes a handy classroom supplement and a valuable traveller's companion. The book's clear vinyl jacket adds a measure of protection when it's carried around in travel situations.

Two separate alphabetical listings give definitions in German-to-English, and English-to-German. The definition of each idiom is followed by an illustrative sentence in both languages. Bilingual appendices touch on irregular verbs, standard abbreviations, and related language topics.
