About this title

From the Publisher:

The colloquial Spanish of everyday conversation and commerce is rarely taught in the language classroom. The Street Spanish Series fills this gap, supplying non-native speakers with the vernacular, vocabulary, and odd constructions needed to avoid embarrassment and communicate effectively in any situation. The third guide provides 10 easy lessons on expletives, euphemisms, and obscenities.
