About this title

From the Author

I wrote this book for...
After many years of teaching Spanish, you get a pretty good idea of what students need to learn. Learning a language is much more than just learning grammar and memorizing vocabulary -- it's a journey into a new culture. In the case of the Spanish language, it's actually a journey throughout many different countries. I wrote this book with 3 different types of students in mind:

1) the University student - (usually an aspiring grammarian)wishing to learn the grammar (especially those confounded subjunctive clauses)and to PASS THOSE EXAMS!

2) the Businessperson - wishing to learn about what to DO and what to SAY to those crazy Latin Americans (and Spaniards).

3) the average American - who wants to understand what people are saying on the subways, as well as learn about what being Hispanic really means!

I can only hope that everyone will find something useful and learn something new in the imaginary travels on which my book takes you, through that incredible mosa! ic which is the Spanish-speaking world!
