This collection of German idioms is presented in the hope that it will prove helpful to teachers and students of the language, and that it may contribute in a modest way toward making the sentence rather than the word the unit of treatment in the study and acquisition of the language.

Produktbeschreibung
This collection of German idioms is presented in the hope that it will prove helpful to teachers and students of the language, and that it may contribute in a modest way toward making the sentence rather than the word the unit of treatment in the study and acquisition of the language. The German language is full of idioms, the meaning of which is poorly grasped by the student, because he never becomes liberated from the individual word. The idioms have been compiled in large part from the Muret-Sanders Encyklopädisches Wörterbuch, from the Flügel-Schmidt-Tanger Wörterbuch der Englischen und Deutschen Sprache, and from Hetzel’s Wie der Deutsche spricht. Various considerations prohibit even an approach to completeness. The same considerations forbid the use in most instances of more than one English meaning, although many of the idioms, especially those of everyday conversation, have a variety of finely shaded meanings depending upon the connotation and intonation. Only occasional use has been made of the vast treasury of proverbs and popular quotations in the language. The alphabetical arrangement according to key-words, while open to objections, presents itself on the whole as the most practicable.

Marcus Bachman Lambert is a distinguished figure in the field of German language studies, primarily recognized for his seminal work, 'Handbook of German Idioms'. Lambert's profound interest in the nuances of language and his expertise in German philology has positioned him as an essential resource for students and scholars pursuing fluency in German. His extensive knowledge shines through the pages of his book, where he meticulously explicates the cultural and historical backdrops that give rise to the idiomatic phrases that so richly adorn the German language. Lambert's academic background is marked by a combination of linguistic study and cultural immersion, possibly obtained through years of education within German-speaking regions, although specifics of his scholastic journey remain discreetly unpublicized.

His literary style is characterized by a blend of scholarly precision and accessibility, which serves to bridge the gap between academic research and practical learning. As an author, Lambert's contribution to the field transcends mere vocabulary; it encapsulates the spirit of a language replete with history and life, making his 'Handbook of German Idioms' a beacon for those navigating the complexities of the German tongue.
