Summary: Street Spanish
Comment:
Although I honestly do not have this book, I just wanted to put to rest those who may find a few mistakes here and there in textbooks. Get over it! This is life, sweetheart. Having worked in a newspaper (two of them), mistakes such as these are common. More common than we'd like to admit.
I bought the older edition of Street Spanish (1991), and I was impressed. Not only that, but my SPANISH PROFESSOR FROM ARGENTINA HIGHLY COMMENDED THE BOOK. IN FACT, SHE AND I HAD BROUGHT OUR COPIES TO THE UNI ON THE SAME DAY, UNKNOWINGLY. She saw my copy on my desk and showed me hers. And it obviously was something she carried around a lot, because she had it along with her other items in her briefcase.
Like I said, I haven't seen his latest edition, but that definitely spoke volumes for me when she said it was a very good book.
I love the book. Wish they actually sold tapes along with the books now a days. It is very hard to find any spanish book besides Arriba (and only if you buy it new then), that comes with tapes. They usually sell it separately, or it costs a fortune and a dime.

Summary: Way too many mistakes!
Comment: THe author's literal translation of, "echar los perros" is, "to throw dogs".The book even has a picture of a man with a sack full of dogs that he is throwing at a girl.He tells us that it means to flirt.The literal translation is, "to sick the dogs on...(a girl,guy,etc.)"It means to court,woo...(a girl,guy, etc.) He sais that conejo,rabbit, is a bad word in Mexico.It may be a bad word in another country,not in Mexico.I found a bit too many mistakes when it comes to Mexican slang that it makes me question the entire book.

Summary: A Must Have For Any Spanish Student :P
Comment: I took three years of Spanish in High School and am currently taking a few Spanish classes at college. I found this book very entertaining and it definately added to my vocabulary in a way that not many Spanish teachers are willing to teach :) I was so happy with this book, I am going to go get the first two.
