Spanish speaker reading about learning Spanish Wow, I have just read the Spanish lessons in the Articles section, and I had never seen Spanish Grammar in such a different way. Fortunately, I did not have to memorize so many rules to use the subjunctive, or choose between ser and estar (I have never realized that the difference between "Pedro es listo" and "Pedro está listo" could be so confusing for foreign students!). It should be similar to the choice between verb+ing or to+infinitive when I try to write something in English. Ah, finally, don't worry too much about accent punctuation. RAE (the Spanish Language Academy) changes the rules all the time. Even Spanish native speakers make quite mistakes!
