Infos

Packed with slang words, phrases and expressions not found in any textbook, this fun-to-read handbook teaches the casual, everyday language heard in the cafes, bars and streets of Spanish speaking countries. No one actually speaks the formal Spanish taught in school, which makes this book a must have for anyone looking to chat with the locals without sounding like a robot. Published as an attractive, small trim hardcover, this handy phrasebook makes the perfect gift for travelers and students who want to fill the gap between the Spanish they are learning in class and what is really spoken in Spain, Mexico, Argentina and other Spanish speaking countries.
