It starts at near zero, and covers the basics (plurals, ein-words, verb tenses, modals, etc.) Probably it is worth noting that this covers only the most basic German grammar. I bought several introductory German books, but I settled in on this one, because it didn't frustrate me with too much at one time, so that I avoided feeling defeated and unmotivated. Some like the instruction to move quickly and absorb the information as they go. I learn a lot from repetition and it's hard for me to memorize a bunch of words or rules all at one time. Again, what I like is that it presents very small chunks of instruction and then drills the heck out of them.
I also think it does a pretty good job of teaching the more difficult aspects of German, such as the cases. Practice Makes Perfect: Complete German Grammar, however, starts out very easy and there are dozens of exercises that thoroughly re-enforce small bits of information before going on to another brief section on grammar. All the other instruction books, even those touted as ''beginner'' or ''elementary'' started out with so many vocabulary lists and grammar rules that I quickly began to feel overwhelmed. I've always studied the Latin-based languages, so I was having a difficult time getting jump-started with German. Learners who have already had some German might find the exercises too basic and repetitive. I think the problem is that the book is slightly misnamed. I can see why some reviewers would be unhappy with Complete German Grammar.
