About this audiobook

Mark Twain's classic satire on the German language. A must listen for anybody learning German or living in a German-speaking country. "The Germans have another kind of parenthesis, which they make by splitting a verb in two and putting half of it at the beginning of an exciting chapter and the other half at the end of it. Can anyone conceive of anything more confusing than that? These things are called 'separable verbs'. The German grammar is blistered all over with separable verbs; and the wider the two portions of one of them are spread apart, the better the author of the crime is pleased with his performance."

    This is one of the funniest books I have ever read. In order to attain such level of amusement from this book, one must have just started to study German.

    Sadly I haven't been able to read the final chapter, which is in a mish-mash of English-German. I look to forward to having a better knowledge of the language to be able to appreciate it.
