Breaking Out of Beginner's Spanish

Breaking Out of Beginner's Spanish

by Joseph Keenan

  • LANGUAGE & PHRASEBOOKS
  • 1994
  • PAPER
  • 215 PAGES

Idioms, common mistakes in word usage, and other helpful advice on tackling spoken Spanish. You'll need some foundation to take full advantage of this book -- but even a complete novice will appreciate the author's playful sense of humor and willingness to humiliate himself in order to master the language. It will encourage you to do the same. Beware, he includes a lengthy list of obscene words as well as horrendous examples of English words adopted in Spanish.  (CAM06, $19.95)
