A reference, not a course. Each point explains why Spanish works the way it does, shows four examples, and names the mistake it causes most often.

Verbs

Spanish makes you choose how close you are before you finish the first sentence.

Spanish builds both with no extra machinery.

A word that appears in front of people and does not translate.
