Many vocabulary books are boring—that one isn’t.

Writing with humor, good sense, and at the least jargon, Joseph Keenan addresses from pronunciation, verb utilization, and common grammatical errors to the subtleties of addressing other folks, “trickster” terms that look as well in both languages, inadvertent obscenities, and intentional swearing. Compiled by a indigenous English speaker who discovered Spanish the hard method—by trying to speak to Spanish-speaking people—it includes English audio speakers with a simple knowledge of Spanish a huge selection of guidelines for using the vocabulary even more fluently and colloquially, with fewer apparent “gringo” errors. He manuals readers through the established phrases and idiomatic expressions that pepper the indigenous speaker’s conversation and a very important introduction to the hottest Spanish slang.

With this book, both college students in college and adult learners who by no means want to find another classroom can quickly improve their speaking capability.
