A Taste of Authentic Spanish
It’s a typical scenario. Excited, confident students of the Spanish language set out to put their linguistic savvy to the test only to discover that passing their classroom exams doesn’t necessarily translate into an ability to understand and speak Spanish with the level of fluency they desire.
Part of the problem is that there aren’t enough Spanish language reference books out there that really connect with the reader. In the same way that dry, bland food will turn away even the hungriest of customers, dull and uninspiring books can have the same effect on its readers.
Speaking Spanish Like a Native makes eye contact with the reader. This book will awaken the students to a more lively way of learning while spicing up their Spanish speaking ability. Written in an entertaining and colorful style, Speaking Spanish Like a Native pulls you out of the classroom and places you into the huddle with native Spanish speakers—giving you the inside scoop on words, phrases, and expressions you cannot get from textbooks. While many books merely inform, this one also teaches, and it leads by example—practical and engaging examples that show the student how to speak in the context of real conversations with native speakers.
Brad Kim is a native English speaker and learned Spanish from scratch while working in Mexico. From the first day he set foot in Mexico years ago, he kept a journal of every interesting word and expression he heard from native speakers. This book is a culmination of his dedication to learning Spanish and to his persistence in documenting his curiosities onto paper. Erika Domínguez was born and raised in Mexico and was immersed in the Spanish language and Latino culture. Erika provides the inside perspective on the various subtleties and nuances of the dialect.
