The Street-Wise Spanish Survival Guide, which indicates it is a "Dictionary of Over 3,000 Slang Expressions, Proverbs, Idioms, and Other Tricky English and Spanish Words and Phrases Translated and Explained" has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle US as part of today's Daily Deal. My son's girlfriend (probably some day to be my daughter-in-law) is from Puebla, and we're speaking Spanish one evening a week, trying to improve my academically learned Spanish skills. I can't decide whether to buy this for myself, or for her to be able to help me , or maybe both, but one way or the other, I'm getting it!

If you were dropped into the middle of Managua, Mexico City, or Miami, would you know how to speak not only the language, but also the lingo? In The Street-Wise Spanish Survival Guide, the reader who is already familiar with Spanish will discover the banter and metaphor (both polite and rude) that enrich the spoken language as it is really used, hints on avoiding embarrassing mistakes in grammar, and a list of dreaded false cognates. Full of advice on pronunciation and tips on customs and manners, and keyed with time-saving symbols, this is the best guide available to understanding and appreciating Spanish as it is spoken in Latin America and the United States.
