Intro Spanish language book recommendations

I'd like to relearn Spanish, and before I go fully diving in, I'd like to do work on my own to learn some of the fundamentals.

I figure I could buy 501 spanish verbs because it looks extremely handy and is extremely cheap.

Is anyone informed as to highly acclaimed beginner spanish textbooks? I have no idea where to look, but something approaching standard school-style, with full explanations of all the different particles and conjugations seems ideal.

    Unless you are going to become a teacher, why learn every different particles and conjugations before you can even have a plain conversation?

    Learning a language is more than just being able to learn every verb and grammar rules.

    Hear my warnings, unbelievers. We have raised altars in this land so that we may sacrifice you to our gods. There is no hope in opposing the inevitable. Put down your arms, unbelievers, and bow before the forces of Chaos!

    Because with my experience trying to learn Japanese, I couldn't have had a plain conversation without an understanding of basic particles.

    Honestly, I don't think you need a textbook. I have the Barron's version of 501 Spanish Verbs and it's good; I also have the Barron's Mastering Spanish Grammar book, that's good too. That's more than you'd learn in a textbook right there, not to mention the thousands of free online resources. Spanish is of course a very popular language; take advantage of all the information you can find on the internet.

    Limed for truth. I still have this site bookmarked from my college Spanish courses as it's a handy verb conjugation tool in case you ever get stuck trying to work through one of the many tenses: http://conjugador.reverso.net/conjugacion-espanol-verbo-expresar.html

    To me, Spanish is all about Verb Conjugation. Learn them, you'll be fine.
