Book Description
All the Mexican slang you'll ever need!! I have been teaching Mexican Spanish online for more than 3 years, and while talking to my students, I've noticed how interested they were in learning "mexislang." They asked me about it all the time, and it started to fascinate me as well. I realized how slang didn't follow any rules and was constantly changing, day by day. I created a blog - mexislang.com - where I started posting entries for my students, to better explain them how slang words were used and why. These blog posts have evolved into this book. Here, I gather the most important phrases and words of mexislang and explain their history and usage, including examples. You will find this manual useful if... You want to learn Spanish from Mexico; You are going to travel to Mexico; You want to understand Mexican culture better; You like learning new languages; You want to communicate better with Mexican people; You want to learn the most recent Mexican slang (and internet slang), from 2018; You want to learn slang from a real Mexican tutor who has taught Spanish to people from all around the world. Mexico is the 8th most visited country in the world, and #1 in Latin America, so this is a book that can be used by adventurers, businessmen, spring breakers, and any average joe who wants to make bonds, communicate, and establish good relationships with Mexican people. Start talking like a Mexican, Get Mexislang now!!

Book Description
Many language books are boring—this one is not. Written by a native English speaker who learned Spanish the hard way—by trying to talk to Spanish-speaking people—it offers English speakers with a basic knowledge of Spanish hundreds of tips for using the language more fluently and colloquially, with fewer obvious "gringo" errors. Writing with humor, common sense, and a minimum of jargon, Joseph Keenan covers everything from pronunciation, verb usage, and common grammatical mistakes to the subtleties of addressing other people, "trickster" words that look alike in both languages, inadvertent obscenities, and intentional swearing. He guides readers through the set phrases and idiomatic expressions that pepper the native speaker's conversation and provides a valuable introduction to the most widely used Spanish slang. With this book, both students in school and adult learners who never want to see another classroom can rapidly improve their speaking ability. Breaking Out of Beginner's Spanish will be an essential aid in passing the supreme language test-communicating fluently with native speakers.
