5.0 out of 5 stars Great little Spanish grammar, November 8, 2003

This review is from: Spanish Grammar (Hippocrene Language Studies) (Paperback)

This the best introductory Spanish grammar book that I have, and I have about half a dozen Spanish grammars, including a couple of the more technical ones. But this is the best one to start with that I've seen. It is actually a standalone Spanish course in that it includes vocabulary and conversational drills and so on in addition to the material on the grammar. I would highly recommend this book as a first grammar, and after this you'll be prepared to tackle one of the bigger, more exhaustive ones. But in order to get conversational in Spanish you really don't need anymore than this. Two other nice features are a list of several hundred nouns and verbs that are either identical in both Spanish and English or else differ by only one or two letters--a very quick and easy way to extend your vocabulary--and a list of several hundred useful expressions. The book also includes a little Spanish to English and vice-versa dictionary of about 2000 most common words in the back, and tables of regular and irregular verb conjugations as well. Overall a very nice little book and very inexpensive too considering what you're getting.

Using this book and a accompanying vocabulary study text, I was actually able to become conversational in spanish in about six months.
