This review is from: Test Yourself: Spanish Grammar (Paperback)
If you want to teach yourself some Spanish or review your Spanish with simple grammar explanations: this is it! As a Spanish Language School we do recommend this book to students who want to improve or check their Spanish after a course when they're back home. We can also easily recommend it to anybody who wants to study by himself. Exercises are nice and you learn where your weak points are. Now careful: if you're a beginner you have to start with ... the second part!

Call me picky, but I hate to see errors in a book that is supposed to be a pre-test review.
