Practice makes perfect : Complete spanish grammar

by Gilda Nissenberg (Paperback - March 26, 2004) There are at least seven benefits about the book: 1.) The format of the book is not of a textbook, but a workbook format which encourages the student to perform the book's exercises. 2.) Each unit of the book contains multiple exercises that cover the material that was just introduced in the same unit. Most of the exercises are open ended. 3.) Many of the exercises also cover vocabulary, that was covered in a previous lesson. This provides the student with a review and a reinforcement of the previously introduced material. 4.) The teaching technique of this book is not a technique based upon "memorization." It is a teaching technique that enables the student to understand and grasp the uses of the material as well as their subtleties. In fact, one of its greatest features is that the book's approach to mastery of Spanish grammar does not involve the drudgery normally associated with memorizing a myriad of grammatical rules. Since it approaches Spanish grammar as the framework to successful communication, the student views Spanish grammar as something less challenging and more rewarding. 5.) Another positive aspect that I noted is that the book has lessons and exercises for the beginner, intermediate and advanced student. 6.) One of the greatest benefits of this book is that it combines all of the great features of Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Verb Tenses and Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Pronouns and Prepositions into one very comprehensive book. You'll find all (or nearly all) of the verb tenses covered in Dorothy Richmond's Spanish Verb Tenses, including the present tense, the imperfect tense, the subjunctive mood, even the imperfect subjunctive and pluperfect subjunctive. And you also find the topics of pronouns and prepositions, and "Por" and "Para" that you'll find in Dorothy Richmond's Spanish Pronouns and Prepositions. 7.) You'll also find topics not covered in the other Practice Makes Perfect Spanish books, such as commands, nouns and articles, adjectives, adverbs, indefinite and negative words and expressions, interrogative and exclamatory words, and more. This book should be required reading for all students of Spanish. Link (5MB) : Quote:http://rapidshare.com/files/149326745/Practice_Makes_Perfect_Complete_Spanish_Grammar.pdf
