You know that I say ‘screw grammar!‘? Well, I mean it; I *hate* studying Spanish grammar. Yes, I’m kind of forced to study it a bit in order to take my Spanish to the next level, but I always keep it to a minimum.
However, Peter of Babelhut.com sent me an e-mail to inform me that he is giving away a *shrudder* grammar book; 601 Spanish Verbs
I don’t know how many example sentences it contains, but this is the feature I’d get it for. But! You can get the book for free. All you need to do is either posting a comment to the post over at Babelhut and/or to send a tweet via Twitter that contains both the text “#babelhut.com” and a link to the article (at Babelhut).
The giveaway is until Monday, June 29.

Hey Ramses
I have a small book of spanish verbs, 300 Spanish Verbs. It is definitely not something I drill on, or study regularly, but it is something I find useful to refer to on occasion to double check a conjugation. I have also been checking out other spanish textbooks and grammar books from the library, but almost totally ignoring the actual grammar descriptions, and just mining the example sentences to make sure I am covering those tricky parts of the language. It’s a nice feeling to skip over all the boring explanations and the tedious exercises and just extract a handful of useful tidbits from these books.

You can always add small grammar notes to your sentences, of course. Like shortly explaining why you use “ni” and not “no” in a sentence.
It helps me a lot and isn’t anything like cramming grammar. I often have been able to answer a question of a native(!) about Spanish grammar, while I reject learning grammar in a formal way. Everything comes from inductive learning (input, sentences) and the notes I add now and then to a sentence I add.
P.S. How did you make the Anki diagram?
