A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is a guide to Spanish usage for those who have already acquired the basics of the language and wish to extend their knowledge. Unlike conventional grammars, it gives special attention to those areas of vocabulary and grammar which cause most difficulty to English speakers. It takes full account of the differences between European and Latin American Spanish, as well as focusing on questions of style and register which are all too often ignored. Clear, readable, and easy to consult, it guides the user through the richness and diversity of this increasingly important world language. • Designed to promote the fluency and accuracy vital to effective communication • Tailored to the needs of the English-speaking user • Clear format for ease of reference • Full treatment of key grammatical areas, including the use of ser and estar, the subjunctive and the reflexive • Reflects the current state of the Spanish language both in Spain and the Americas • Highlights the problems of register and style • An important section on vocabulary extension • A comprehensive index for efficient access

Revue de presse
