I would like to thank my German colleagues (and former colleagues) in the School of Modern Languages at Newcastle University for their help with both this and the earlier editions of the book, in particular Ms Franziska Schulz, Dr Simone Schroth, Mr Sascha Stollhans, Ms Aletta Rochau, Dr Beate Mller, Professor Henrike Lhnemann, Ms Andrea Wilczynski, Dr Helen Ferstenberg, Mr Okke Baumbach, Ms Christina Mller-Stewart and Ms Anke Neibig. Thanks also go to colleagues in linguistics: Professor Richard Waltereit, Ms Nicole Bheim, Dr Tina Fry and Dr Jonathan West; and to German linguists further afield who have given useful feedback on specific points of grammar: Professor Martin Durrell, Professor Nils Langer, Professor Nicola McLelland, Dr Alan Scott, Professor Andreas Musolff and Dr Sheila Watts. I am grateful to my husband, Gerhard, for his Austrian perspective, and to my sons, Max and Philip, for suggesting text topics of interest to students. I am also very grateful to the German teaching team at Cambridge University for their detailed feedback on the second edition, which I found extremely helpful: Ms Silke Mentchen, Mrs Annemarie Knzl-Snodgrass, Mrs Britta Frster and Dr David Wachter. My thanks also go to Michael Kranert and Angelique Arts and especially Martin Durrell for their extremely detailed and valuable feedback for this third edition, and, finally, I would like to thank the authors and publishing agents of my chosen texts for giving me permission to use their work.

Some students may find it easier to learn article and adjective endings together within the context of a whole phrase rather than as isolated words or endings. The following tables provide a list of simple sentences that should be learned by heart. This will enable students to generalise the different case and number ending patterns to other words, provided that the gender of the noun is known.

Gemeinsamer Urlaub fhrt oft zum Scheidungsrichter

Dsseldorf Nach Angaben der nordrhein-westflischen Verbraucher-Zentrale wird etwa jede dritte Scheidung in Deutschland nach einem gemeinsam verbrachten Urlaub beantragt. Zwei Psychologen haben deshalb die hufigsten Grnde fr Krisen und Ratschlge zur Krisenvermeidung in einem Artikel des neu erschienenen Ratgebers Chance Psychotherapie verffentlicht. Der gemeinsame Urlaub bedeute fr viele Paare mehr Stress als Erholung. Der Urlaub ist dann ein Risikofaktor, wenn die Beziehung ohnehin schon gefhrdet ist, sagte Psychologe und Autor Ralf Dohren-busch. Viele Paare knnten nicht damit umgehen, dass sie im Urlaub pltzlich so viel Zeit miteinander verbringen mssten. Im Alltag gibt es verschiedene Strategien, wie man sich aus dem Weg gehen kann, zum Beispiel Treffen mit Freunden, so der Psychologe. Diese Mglichkeiten habe man im Urlaub naturgem nicht.

Viele Paare stellten insgesamt zu hohe Erwartungen an die gemeinsame Urlaubszeit. Wenn die dann nicht erfllt werden, wird die Enttuschung auf den Partner projiziert, so der Psychologe. Schwierige und unbefriedigende Situationen wie etwa ein schlechtes Hotel oder ungewohnte klimatische Bedingungen verstrkten das Stressgefhl zustzlich. Auch ein stabiles Beziehungssystem kann dadurch akut gefhrdet werden, und wenn im Urlaub pltzlich andere Regeln aufgestellt werden, sind meist beide berfordert [].
