Synopsis

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 that cause the most difficulty for 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 that 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.
