'The main strengths of A Spanish Grammar Workbook lie in the
number, creativity, and variety of exercises provided at various
proficiency levels. The fresh, creative approach of many of the
exercises, especially the variety of puzzles, provides engaging and
enjoyable ways for learners to interact with the language while
reinforcing grammatical concepts. This workbook could be used by
instructors as a valuable source of ready-made exercises which
could be incorporated in the classroom or, alternatively, as
testing materials. While the workbook's main audience is learners
of Spanish as a second language, many of the intermediate and
advanced exercises would also be appropriate and challenging for
heritage speakers who wish to improve their knowledge of and
proficiency in various subtleties of the Spanish language. 'A
Spanish Grammar Workbook' is a valuable tool for students seeking
to practice and review various aspects of Spanish Grammar that can
be used over the course of the learning process. It is also a
useful source of exercises in a variety of formats for instructors
and tutors who are looking for creative ways to make the learning
process more enjoyable and engaging for learners.' The Linguist
List
'This workbook is a welcome addition for those who need to
thoroughly test, review or improve their knowledge of Spanish
grammar at the basic, intermediate and advanced level.'
