So bitter a thing is the heart of a man

Tan amarga cosa es el corazón del hombre
or
Una cosa tan amarga es el corazón del hombre

I have decided to start learning some English grammar, but I don't know which kind of books are good for me. Any suggestion?(titles) Or is it better to just continue learning by reading storys(exactly: one short story a day) as I'm doing now?

Thanks.
Isn't this THE place to ask questions? If not, I'm in BIG trouble!

Anyway - no one has addressed your question #6, so let me try. If you go to Amazon.com, and search on "English grammar", you'll find lots of entries, but I'm not sure how many are available in Argentina....

There is a podcast and related website with daily grammar tips e-mail that I can recommend. The name of the website is "Grammar Girl": http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/ - and the podcast (free) is found under "Grammar Girl" or "Quick and Dirty Tips", then Grammar Girl. The podcast comes out about once a week (I think) and at the website you can sign up for daily e-mails. I find the e-mails especially interesting, because each one contains a single grammar concept that is oft confused, even by native English speakers. But because it's just one concept per day (and a quick read), it's easy enough to remember. Give it a try!

I have also found that when there are questions about specific English grammar issues, you can google the issue (for example, you can Google "toward vs. towards") and get several good quality answers.

¿Esto ayudar?
