Dear all,
I have recently started learning Spanish using Michel Thomas; I had a good experience a few years ago starting off
Italian using Michel Thomas in conjunction with an excellent grammar book: "Soluzioni" by Denise de Rome. I
would like to try something similar with Spanish, and wonder if anyone could recommend a good Spanish grammar
book which might work well in conjunction with MT.
What I found good about Soluzioni was that it had a good combination of clarity and thoroughness: it wasn't *too*
dry and dictionary-like, but it wasn't too chatty and silly either. Each concept was explained with many examples of
actual usage, and clear cross-referencing where necessary.
I'd be very interested to hear others' recommendations!
Many thanks,
Oliver

Maybe "Gramatica de uso de espanol"? It's available in at least three versions: A1-A2, B1-B2 and A1-B2.

Honestly, I just used,
www.studyspanish.com

It worked very well for me, and then if I encountered anything that wasn't covered on the website I googled it and
there was tons of explanations.

BTW if you speak Italian like I did when I learned Spanish, that website was great because you don't even need to get
really detailed since you already have an idea for most the stuff

Maybe Spanish Verbs and Essentials of Grammar?

I have it, and it looks good for a small reference. You can get it really cheap, too.
