Customer Reviews

This book is a must for all Spanish Students
This book explains it all. The use of pronouns and prepositions in Spanish is quite often a topic that is never fully explained, and most find it quite daunting.

This book covers all situations and the subtleties of usage in a concise and very easy to follow manner.

Every chapter builds on the previous with numerous exercises and passages for translation.

Everything is explained in detail.

I found this book invaluable

Another winner
I bought this book, already owning "Practice makes perfect: Spanish verb tenses" and both books are of equally high value.

Pronouns are amongst the key elements to conversational Spanish and knowledge of pronouns is crucial to Spanish sentance construction! Amongst many other things, they enable talking without constant repetition (I saw the food, then I ate the food but I didn't like the food because the food was bad etc...).

As with my previous purchace, this book helps to explain the "rules" in a clear and logical way, helping the reader to gain a detailed understanding of the different sets of pronouns and how they feature in converrsation.

Each new rule is explained simply with many accompanying excersizes to assist memorization and the learning curve is set at a consistant pace.

For those looking for a precise breakdown of Pronouns and prepositions and how each device is incorporated into everyday language, get this.

Don't be put off by the seemingly specific nature of the book if you are new to the Spanish. Learning the underlying structure of Spanish has been a great way to start learning, much more beneficial than the "starter guides" that are available, which seem to tend towards the "Una cervesa por favor", without helping the student to understand what it is that they are saying.

I have only been learning Spanish for four months and between this book, "PmP: Verb Tenses" and a pocket dictionary, I feel that I am progressing at a consistant rate and have no major questions that this combination of books isn't able to address.

BUY IT!

Worth buying for the section on "Por y Para" alone!
This book is the perfect partner to any Spanish Course textbook you might be using at school/college. It is the only book that has been able to teach me the correct usage of Por and Para and I would like to thank the author for that. The only thing I don't like is the use of American-English.
