SPANISH for English Speakers Alberto Gonzalez

The essential grammar within a full International Spanish course. Following the author's specific experience and interest, the intention of this book is to provide all the relevant material within a full International Spanish course, with the English-speaking students in mind; presenting all the essential grammar, from basic to advanced, plus additional information, hints and observations, in a simple and logical way with which the readers/students can build their language skills. All topics are explained in English, with examples in both Spanish and English. The material includes Present, Past and Future Tenses, both Simple and Compound, in their Indicative and Subjunctive moods, Commands, Articles, Nouns, Adjectives, Gender and Number Agreement, Adverbs, Prepositions, Object Pronouns (Direct, Indirect and Double), Reflexive Verbs, Irregular Verbs, Conjunctions, Relatives, Prefixes and Suffixes, Weather Expressions, Numbers, Days and Months, Pronunciation, and more. Much of the information and the way it is presented are the direct result of the author's interaction with his students during learning sessions, taking as a great feedback their typical questions and struggles as English speakers approaching the Spanish language. This book is intended as a Supplemental Book; exercises and vocabulary are not provided. It makes an excellent "portable tutor" for the extensive material covered in an easy-to-carry size.
