Summary

Take your speaking, listening, and comprehension to the next level. You will master 200 of the most useful phrases that are beyond the basics you learn in basic Spanish classes.

Often what we learn in class isn’t very useful in practicable speech, so we’ve compiled a list of 200 of the most widely used common expressions and phrases that will supercharge your Spanish speaking ability, as well as your vocabulary and comprehension.

This book will provide you with an amazing supply of simple, incredibly useful Spanish phrases (most of which you probably haven’t mastered yet), to help take your conversation skills to the next level.

This book also contains numerous idioms and colloquialisms which you will find both insightful and useful. Hispanic culture is incredibly colorful and each region has numerous local sayings and idioms, so we’ll only focus on really common ones that seem to be pretty universal across all Spanish speaking countries. 

You will learn:
 

  • The English and Spanish version of the idiom/phrase
  • The explanation of how to use this idiom or phrase in common speech and when is an appropriate time to use it
  • Examples of casual dialogue in both Spanish and English to show you the context of how this phrase is used
  • You can practice repeating each phrase to help commit it to memory and work through the pronunciation

Weird narrator

This woman clearly doesn't speak Spanish. It's painful listening to her read Spanish and not stress the right parts of the words.

Igalmemte

Olveeede (not olvidé)
Narda
Qué arrrrses....

The list goes on... Awful.

Brilliant

So simple and yet so informative! It has inspired me to seek out a hispanohablante to practice with.
Thank you for this book.

Not quite beyond the basics

Although enjoyable, with the narration breaking down the phrases for easy listening comprehension, I was disappointed that I had to get to around 150 phrases before I felt it was “beyond the basics”
Quite honestly, if you don’t know buenos dias, buenas tardes or buenas noches then I don’t think you really are at an intermediate level.
Shame as the latter part of the book got more interesting. Just wish it was more intermediate and less basic.

Perfect for travel

While I agree with the one bad review that this isn't really a book for beginners, I think it's a great tool for those who aren't proficient. great book I love this book so much.

Great Supplement!

I've been able to supplement what I'm learning in class with this book, which explains some of the more difficult grammar issues in other words.

Very informative audiobook

After using this program, I have had several Spanish speakers who were so impressed with my Spanish that they not only asked me where and how I learned Spanish but they also complimented me on how I correctly pronounced the Spanish words and phrases that I spoke.

It is a very effective audiobook

It is a very effective audiobook. It contains several great phrases to learn and briefly explains how to form conjugations. So this audiobook helps you to learn the Spanish language.

Not Easy! But, seems very good

I'm really happy with the layout of this book, and how easy it is to teach from. I use it for my Spanish tutoring students. It's much simpler and easier to understand than the crazy frenetic high school and college textbooks I've seen lately. This is a wonderful book. I am an older adult looking to learn Spanish, and I love the way this "workbook" is organized.
