Publisher Description

A witty, fast-paced guide to eliminating those annoying and frustrating Spanish bloopers

Mixing genders, inverting subjects and objects, and trusting falsos amigos (a.k.a., false cognates) are just a few of the blunders English-speaking Spanish-language learners commonly make. In Correct Your Spanish Blunders, veteran Spanish teacher Jean Yates identifies these and other common trouble spots and clearly explains the reasons behind them. You will discover how grammar patterns of Spanish differ from those of English and why trying to translate word for word, structure for structure, from English, can lead to big trouble.

You will learn to break bad habits and correct your mistakes while developing a much more natural feel for Spanish language patterns­­ with the help of:

More than 1,000 highlighted examples of common blunders to avoid

A free app available on iTunes for interactive practice for obliterating those blunders

Numerous examples and practical exercises

Quick-reference panels for checking correct tense forms

A "Hall of Shame" compendium of bad errors to recognize and correct

Praxis/ Missouri Content Assessment

I was really impressed with this book. It was easy to understand and it decoded some of the hard to understand grammar usage. The author did a good job of illustrating and simplifying advanced grammar. I had failed the Praxis II/Missouri Content Assessment twice and after skimming through this book for about 2 hours the night before the 3rd attempt, I managed to pass the MCA 10 points above the passing score. I was able to read and write significantly better.
I definitely would recommend this book to any student who was looking to pass a Spanish teacher certification exam or even the AP Spanish exam.
