You're taking my hair! ...What? If you heard this expression (!Me estas tomando el pelo!) from a native Spanish speaker, you wouldn't know it was the equivalent of you're pulling my leg! unless you had read David Burke's newest book devoted to the exciting and imaginative world of popular Spanish idioms. Based on the bestselling Street Spanish, this second volume in the series is sure to put readers al corriente (up-to-date, or literally in the current), as they encounter hundreds of colorful phrases hidden away in the Spanish language and usually reserved for native speakers. Designed to teach the fundamentals of Spanish idioms in ten fun, easy lessons, Street Spanish 2 features: * Dialogues, vocabulary lessons, and a glossary of hundreds of Spanish terms. * Entertaining word drills, crossword puzzles, fill-ins, and find-a-word charts. DAVID BURKE (Studio City, California) has worked for the Olympic Games as a supervisor of the Translation Department, served as an interpreter for the Algerian government, and conducted foreign tours to visiting dignitaries at Universal Studios. His Street French and Street Spanish books have sold nearly 200,00 copies. |
