Pronouns are amongst the key elements to conversational Spanish and knowledge of pronouns is crucial to Spanish sentance construction! Amongst many other things, they enable talking without constant repetition (I saw the food, then I ate the food but I didn't like the food because the food was bad etc...).

As with my previous purchace, this book helps to explain the "rules" in a clear and logical way, helping the reader to gain a detailed understanding of the different sets of pronouns and how they feature in converrsation.

Each new rule is explained simply with many accompanying excersizes to assist memorization and the learning curve is set at a consistant pace.

For those looking for a precise breakdown of Pronouns and prepositions and how each device is incorporated into everyday language, get this.

Don't be put off by the seemingly specific nature of the book if you are new to the Spanish. Learning the underlying structure of Spanish has been a great way to start learning, much more beneficial than the "starter guides" that are available, which seem to tend towards the "Una cervesa por favor", without helping the student to understand what it is that they are saying.

I have only been learning Spanish for four months and between this book, "PmP: Verb Tenses" and a pocket dictionary, I feel that I am progressing at a consistant rate and have no major questions that this combination of books isn't able to address.

BUY IT!

I finally fully understood all the differencies between mi, mio, por, para, a, en ... and so long!
Each chapter contains many exercises so that you can cover all posibble uses of a pronoun or preposition. My favorite exercise is the traduccion at the end of each chapter.
If you just started learning spanish or - like me - haven't cleared up get some critical issues, this is the book you must buy.
