Synopsis
The person learning to speak Spanish is running an obstacle course. The same errors, problems and linguistic traps are laid out before every student at predictable stages of the learning process. Young or old, linguistically adept or steady plodder, every student of Spanish must get over a series of obstacles that are set out in path almost as precisely as the barriers in the 800 meter high hurdles foot race. This book intends to help clear those hurdles. The nuts and bolts of Spanish grammar have been dealt with quite well in any number of books. There is no need for another presentation of all this basic material. The emphasis of this book is on helping the student to get past the big barriers that block his way. It contains eighteen essays that deal with everything from attitude and the accent mark to the subjunctive and verb phobia. The purpose of this book is to help you to learn to speak Spanish by correlating the practical knowledge acquired by one who learned Spanish on the streets of South and Central America with those elements of grammar that he found most useful as he struggled toward linguistic proficiency. The intent of this book is to combine our innate linguistic common sense and academic Spanish, the latter as handmaiden to the former.
