If you want to learn grammar to what suits you, why not write some grammar drills
yourself? Use the vocabulary that you know and if you must reference a dictionary. All it
takes is some paper, a pencil, and your grammar book for reference when you write down
the drills.

What exactly, is a grammar drill?

I was actually just about to write some for Georgian for some practice, however I can make one in Spanish for a
quick example.

Take something with grammar you want to practice.
Write a bunch of sentences (or take examples from a grammar book, that's easier), and write them out. Translate
them into English, and then back into Spanish. There is no limit to the amount of sentences with which you can
practice, however I'd say a good ten to twenty to get the gist of something and how to actively use it.
So essentially: Make up or take ten to twenty sentences (complex or simple, doesn't matter).
Split them into groups of five.
Translate, group by group, into English and then immediately back into Spanish, then go onto the next set.
Good luck!

Right now I'm mainly using Byki to learn Spanish words. . . but I still need a lot of work on . . . Learning how to conjugate verbs correctly.

OK, time for me to plug...err, recommend a PC program that I inspired. See my video demonstration review on Amazon:

For Russian, I've found that the New Penguin Russian Grammar is great. I don't know any book like it for Spanish, though.

Does anyone know other books that are structured in similar manners as the Russian Grammar book?
