Hey, what's up everybody? I'm new here...
I'm wondering what books people around here used to learn English grammer, get rid of their accents, etc.... I have some recommendations below...
1. Webster's New World English Grammar Handbook - A great grammar book with all the rules and everything else you need to know about English grammar. More Info Here
2. English Grammar In Use - That's the book i started learning English with. It's pretty simple. There's always a page with grammar rules and immediately after that you have a page with exercises. However, the book uses British English so it may not be the best for everybody.
More Info Here
3. Eliminate Your Accent - A great and short, but very effective ebook on how to lose your accent. Very simple exercises that have helped me tremendously in losing my accent. Unfortunately it's only available as an ebook through the website below.
Website+More Info
Of course, I used other book too, but i think those three have had the biggest impact. Now, after years of studying I've now reached the point where native English speakers can't even tell that English isn't my first language, so it all worked out great

Hello again calidude -
Thanks for re-posting your great tip on books. I think it will be around longer in the "sticky" and more people will be able to benefit from your experience.
