Manual de gramática: Grammar Reference for Students of Spanish (World Languages)

Best Spanish book I've ever bought - includes advanced tips that other primers do not. Would definitely recommend for someone at the college level of study.

I purchased this book on the recommendation of my prof for 300 level Spanish courses. I have a few others that have been required for lower level courses and all of them have the same information, but I will say that this one has been the most helpful.It is basic grammar, but it has full explanations and exercises with an answer key in the back for self-study. I purchased a well-worn copy for cheap and am glad to have it.¡Cómprelo! y buena suerte :)

If you are purchasing this book for use in a Spanish course, be aware that if purchased from Amazon, the book does NOT include a "book key" for online access to publisher tools.Be sure to check with your college bookstore or your instructor to see if the key access is something you will actually need before purchasing from Amazon.To purchase a key from the publisher will cost $53.00 on top of the original purchase price of the book.

I purchased this book as a required text for my college Spanish grammar class. It is the only Spanish textbook I kept. Now that I live in Ecuador, this book has been an oft-consulted resource. Grammar concepts are presented in summary form, with helpful tables to give quick reminders of all of the tenses used in Spanish. There are detailed and clear explanations of the conjugation and uses of all the tenses.

Es muy útil aunque contiene demasiado inglés. Compré la version en español también, que es mejor.

I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to Spanish grammar I guess. While others loathe it, I absolutely love it. So I study out of different spanish grammar books almost on a daily basis. I thought that I had found the best and most organized grammar book in "A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish" by John Butt. And as far as content and detail goes it wins out over "Manual de gramatica" but in clear explanation "Manual de gramatica" far outstrips the former. I should they are also both aimed at different groups too. The former aimed more at advanced speakers and professionals and the latter obviously an intermediate to advanced student guide. So I suppose it isn't fair to compare the 2 but I think they together are a good compliment and I use them both quite a bit.

There was more writing in it than I like, but I really like the book itself. Excellent resource.

This textbook is so easy to read and understand. It explains grammar clearly in english while giving examples and grammar terms in spanish. It's a great all-over-grammar guide to spanish
