Spanish Grammar Resources

The lovely @studywithbyu​ came to looking for some help with Spanish grammar, so here is a little masterlist! (warning, not so little - long post ahead!) I highly suggest checking out both resources because they cover different things and one may provide the information in a better format for you.

Grammar with SpanishDict

A great resource with reliable translations and instruction! I go here instead of to Google Translate because I know it’s much more helpful and accurate. It also has forums for individual questions. 

Here is a list of all its lessons:

Adjectives

Adverbs

Articles

Conjunctions

Gender

Number

Prepositions

Pronouns

Pronunciation

Verbs

Nine units full of very useful grammar! I plan to use this one myself for a bit of self-instruction before I go to Catalonia. My favorite part is it gives you flashcard ideas and has review.

Here are the units and their topics:

UNIT ONE

UNIT TWO

UNIT THREE

UNIT FOUR

UNIT FIVE

UNIT SIX

UNIT SEVEN

UNIT EIGHT

UNIT NINE

I hope this helps!

On this sad BrExit day, I decided to finally compile a list of Spain Spanish literature resources. The works I have taken into consideration are mostly classics, ranging from early medieval to 18th century literature.

Note n. 1: I made this masterpost out of absolute love for the Spanish language and literature, and I do not intend this to be helpful to those who want to practise (Modern) Spanish through reading. In compiling this list, I especially chose what I’ve already read or what I’d love to or plan on reading.

Note n. 2: before you start reading, consider doing your own research about the author’s background and the metaphorical significance of his work.
