Synopsis

If a native Spanish-speaker were to say to you, "You're taking my hair!" (!Me estas tomando el pelo!), you may not know how to respond.unless, of course, you've read David Burke's newest book on Spanish idioms, Street Spanish 2. Then you'd know that this common expression is equivalent to the American idiom, "You're pulling my leg!" Street Spanish 2 will lead you through an exciting domain of imaginative and popular Spanish idioms by the use of dialogues, vocabulary lessons, entertaining word drills and games including crossword puzzles, fill-ins, find-a-word charts, and dictations. A comprehensive glossary rounds out this fact- and fun-filled guide.

About this title

From the Publisher

Idioms are the common, everyday phrases found in every language, that natives take for granted, but non-native speakers usually find bewildering, at best. In this second installment in the expanded and updated edition of his best-selling Street Spanish, Burke translates hundreds of idiomatic Spanish expressions, and, more importantly, he shows how to use them in everyday situations.
