Summary: Not Bad Intro to Spanish Slang
Comment: I've owned and used this book for a couple of years, and while it is worth the read, if you need to buy one book of this sort I would go with "Streetwise Spanish" by Mary Gill and Brenda Wegmann. While the format of both books is surprisingly similar, I think that "Streetwise" covers more turf, and does it more entertainingly, than "Street Spanish."
Rating: 5
Summary: El Espanol de las Calles
Comment: I've had numerous copies of the 501 Spanish Verbs, and of Street Spanish 1 & 2. (now it's time to add #3.)
I've always given them away to other Americans down there in The Jungle By The Sea. I'm ordering a fresh batch of all of them and this time nobody but me gets to use them. *smile*
It's true, you have to know the street talk or the natives go "Ay!" and the merchants charge you triple. I lived in The Jungle By The Sea for almost 4 years. Great place. Great country. Great people. The Mexicans and the Irish seem to have a special bond.

Summary: A great book on Spanish slang
Comment: Street Spanish 1 is the best book I have come across on Spanish slang. It provides a wide range of phrases and terms not generally found elsewhere, but which a native speaker would normally use when talking to friends or family, or which often crop up in movies and books. In other words, it teaches the real Spanish that is needed to promote a better understanding when conversing with or listening to native speakers.
The dialogues are made up of the most popular slang expressions that are used in various Hispanic countries, allowing their usage to be observed in context while on the facing pages an English translation is provided for easy reference.
The vocabulary section that comes at the end of every dialogue focuses on each slang term and explains its usage even further by means of additional examples, while synonyms, antonyms and variations used in different countries are included to ensure that a thorough grasp of each term is reached. To gain that extra edge, this book is highly recommended for travellers and students alike.
(Having the cassettes, which are not part of the package, would be an added bonus since you would hear the dialogues being spoken by natives of Mexico, Argentina, Peru, and Spain, providing a better feel for the language, its speech patterns and the varying pronunciations).
