Handbook of German Idioms

"Handbook of German Idioms" by Marcus Bachman Lambert is a helpful book from the early 1900s for anyone learning or teaching German. It's like a guide packed with common German sayings and phrases that you would hear in regular conversations. Instead of just focusing on single words, it shows you how to use phrases to really understand the language. At the beginning, it explains who the book is for and how it can help, with a note that the sayings are organized by important words. The first examples give you different expressions, what they mean, and how you would say them in English, which makes it easier for people learning German to catch on and get a peek into how Germans talk.
