Great!

I love this book! It puts Spanish grammar in straight forward, simple terms and allows you to quickly see the essentials of what you need to know. I wouldn't say that it's a good book to learn directly from as it seems to expect you to already know basically what they're talking about, but if you are a Spanish student this is a wonderful reference book. Useful for all levels, covers anything you'd ever want to know grammar wise - I couldn't have survived Spanish class without it.

Fantastic! Why didn't I find this book sooner?

I have been studying Spanish for 5 years now, and am currently teaching Spanish at the high school level. Although I am married to a native-speaker of Spanish and speak only Spanish in the home, I remained unsure of my usage, especially concerning certain verb tenses such as the conditional and the subjunctive. I already own and have read a wide collection of Spanish grammar and reference books. Unlike the large, comprehensive volumes the serious language learner inevitably acquires, this book provides short, concise explanations which one is unlikely to forget. Being relatively new to the teaching profession, Schaum's Easy Outline for Spanish has also helped me enormously in the classroom. As the publishers promise, the reader does "get the essence the easy way".
