Unlike most grammar series, this one simplifies and clarifies what is often perceived as the most difficult aspect of learning a foreign language. Oxford Easy Grammar texts cover all the fundamental and essential points of a language's grammar in a clear and user-friendly way, with every grammatical point clearly explained and backed up by examples in English before being illustrated in the foreign language. Each area of grammar is presented on a double-page spread for easy access and navigation, with all example sentences highlighted to show what is being illustrated. Finally, a full A-Z list of grammatical terms with clear descriptions rounds out each volume.
After living in El Salvador for nearly a month now, this book has been absolutely essential to gaining a better understanding of the formalities of the Spanish language. The test is extremely well written with short, concise entries that do not bore the reader. The organization is impeccable and extremely easy to use. In short, I would recommend this as an excellent reference to anyone trying to learn the ins and outs of written spanish.

This book seems like a great essential tool for the student who wants fluency. I hope it helps me become "completa bilingue"!!! ~HTHY *I just rec'd today (18 march 2009)----Maybe I'll update sometime as a post review. ~HTHY
A must-have resource for the serious Spanish student.

I have had this book for over 5 years. I use it so much that it is now falling apart. The book is very concise and provides practical examples and indcludes references to regional differences in the Spanish language. If you are serious about learning Spanish - this book will help you quickly find the answers that you need. It is the most complete grammar reference that I have seen in a book this size. This book can be used by beginners, but it is most useful to those that have attained some level of comfort with the language and are looking for specific grammar and usage examples.

If you are seriously studying Spanish, and need a compact, complete resource for Spanish grammar, this is the book for you. It is extremely comprehensive, yet very manageable. This book is fantastic as a supplemental resource for any student in formal Spanish training. The book is beautifully arranged, containing clear explanations without sacrificing utility. I grabbed this book so many times that I almost wore it out! I cannot list the number of times that I have used grammatical constructions that I learned through the use of this book.
