Great series June 14, 2008
I highly recommend getting all three books in this series as they work really well together. I wasn't getting anywhere with the Rosetta Stone package. These books fill in the grammer and usage gaps and I am now understanding what I was learning in RS.
An excellent reference book with exhaustive exercises May 13, 2008

This is a great reference grammar book, excellent for beginners and intermediate students of the spanish language, covering all aspects of prepositions and pronouns with numerous examples covering all types of usage. Very useful and thorough exercises in both languages, that if you manage to complete them all, you become a master of the subject.
This book along with the one covering verb tenses are the top best that I could find to assist me in my spanish classes.
Excellent! April 27, 2008
This book is the single most helpful book I have found for learning Spanish. The topics are well-organized and clearly explained and the practice exercises are really effective. I can't recommend this book highly enough.
This book does assume that you have some knowledge of Spanish vocabulary, so it probably isn't for beginners. To build up your vocabulary beforehand, I recommend Flash Cards.
I recommend this book to all my students March 5, 2008

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3AP7FQWXZZ1J8 Although I recommend this product to all my students, you will get the most out of it if you are an intermediate or an advanced student. If you are truly an intermediate/advanced student, I am listing what I consider some of the top learning-Spanish resources for learners who are seeking
complete fluency. You can use the following courses with this book and really see your Spanish take off.
Learning Like Crazy Spoken Spanish, Vol. 2 This is my favorite for intermediate and advanced students. This is only for students that are unquestionably intermediate or advanced students. How do you know if you are truly an intermediate or advanced student as opposed to an upper-level beginner student? Here's an easy test:
Watch the "novelas" and if you can understand 50% of what is being said then you are probably an intermediate or advanced learner of Spanish. If you are having a lot of difficulty understanding what is being said, then you may want to start with the first level of this course: Learning Spanish Like Crazy: Spoken Spanish, Vol. 1 (2 volume set)
What like most about the Learning Spanish Like Crazy series is that it uses a method that really helps improve your Spanish-sounding accent while at the same time teaching you how to speak real Latin American Spanish.
Immersionplus Spanish Complete: The Final Step to Fluency! (Immersionplus(tm) Audio Series) This is one of my favorites. You can also watch my video review that I did here at Amazon of Immersionplus Spanish Complete: The Final Step to Fluency! (Immersionplus(tm) Audio Series) There are two things that really stand out about this product. One is the content. There's lots of it. And the other is the price tag. It is very inexpensive and it well worth the price.
Read and Think Spanish (Book +1 Audio CD) This is another terrific product. It is a book that consists of articles in Spanish about different Latin American countries. The book comes with a CD. Both the book and the CD do not come with an English translation. The CD also does NOT have a slowed down track to listen to. So you have to be a real intermediate or advanced student to use this book and CD successfully.

I came to Spain last August with little or no knowledge of Spanish, other than what I'd learned to repeat from the Pimsleur CD series. I then took a one-month intensive Spanish course at a good language school on the Costa del Sol. In September, I moved to Barcelona and found that my crash course had given me an excellent foundation in communication in Spanish. But I was learning by the seat of my pants, never having taken any formal classroom instruction in Spanish grammar. Pronouns, prepositions and verb tenses in general were vexing me, and I felt stymied. Then I got an Amazon gift card for Christmas and started looking at grammar books. Dorothy Richmond's books were highly recommended by reviewers, including teachers of Spanish, and now I know why. In a clear, methodical way, this book (which I purchased with Richmond's "Spanish Verb Tenses," which I also highly recommend)understandably and concisely explains the relevant grammatical rules, draws analogies to similar constructions in English, and leads the student through a progressive series of written exercises that neither leap ahead too quickly nor bore the student. I look forward to doing my lessons every day, and many mysteries of Spanish usage have been cleared up for me. I bought a second copy for my daughter, even though she's had years of high school Spanish and is far more fluent than I. This book is indispensable for both the intermediate learner and those wanting to sharpen their already acquired Spanish skills.
