Using Spanish
This is a guide to Spanish usage for those who have already acquired
the basics of the language and wish to extend their knowledge. Unlike
conventional grammars, it focuses on those areas of vocabulary and
grammar which cause most difficulty to English speakers. It fully
illustrates the differences between the Spanish of Spain and Latin
America, and looks in detail at register variation. Complete with a full
word index, this clear and easy-to-consult text guides students through
the richness and diversity of this major world language.
This new edition has been extensively revised and updated to take a
fuller account of Latin-American usage. The vocabulary sections have
been significantly expanded, and now include examples which
contextualize each word or expression. The presentation of many
sections has been improved to make reference even easier than before,
and some completely new material has been added on semi-technical
vocabulary and Anglicisms.
