Narrado por: Gryphon Corpus

Take your speaking, listening, and comprehension to the next level. You will master 200 of the most useful phrases that are beyond the basics you learn in basic Spanish classes.

Often what we learn in class isn’t very useful in practicable speech, so we’ve compiled a list of 200 of the most widely used common expressions and phrases that will supercharge your Spanish speaking ability, as well as your vocabulary and comprehension.

This book will provide you with an amazing supply of simple, incredibly useful Spanish phrases (most of which you probably haven’t mastered yet), to help take your conversation skills to the next level.

This book also contains numerous idioms and colloquialisms which you will find both insightful and useful. Hispanic culture is incredibly colorful and each region has numerous local sayings and idioms, so we’ll only focus on really common ones that seem to be pretty universal across all Spanish speaking countries.

You will learn:

• The English and Spanish version of the idiom/phrase
• The explanation of how to use this idiom or phrase in common speech and when is an appropriate time to use it
• Examples of casual dialogue in both Spanish and English to show you the context of how this phrase is used
• You can practice repeating each phrase to help commit it to memory and work through the pronunciation

A perfect book for learning basic Spanish.

I have been wanting to refresh my knowledge of the language, and this book is very good for that. I am sure this one will be just as helpful when I go to Spain. This book is a great guide, whether you need help translating while traveling or for keys words and phrases for the everyday.

An excellent introduction to Spanish

As a first audible book, it was great. Easy to learn because it's detailed and goes over phrases several times throughout. Definitely recommend.

Good Spanish learning resource!

Very helpful for the intermediate Spanish learner. the dictation is clear and slow enough but not too slow. A great resource for building listening comprehension and vocabulary.

Give it a try

The book is easy to listen, nicely organized, and well suited for beginners who want to learn a basic level of fluency in Spanish.

Engaging, patient, fast.

This learning style is not something I ever would have thought to try, being a mainly visual person. However, the quality of the recording and the clarity of the method is brilliant. I've already bought a further Spanish course in this series and will be on to more languages in no time!

Best book ever!

A great strategy for quick and effective communication. The typical vocabulary and accent vary widely depending on the region, country, and even city.

Definitely one of the Better Language Audiobooks

I'm surprised by how much I understood this. I'm definitely a beginner. I don't speak Spanish but I can understand it a little and this is a great guide for someone like me. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Perfect for Intermediate Spanish Learners

This was a decent book for anyone who is a beginner or just brushing up on their Spanish. The book covered reading techniques, vocabulary, and a couple of topics. Overall, this was a decent book that was very easy to follow.

useful need more time tho

I use it every day at work to learn better Spanish. I wish I had a longer pause between phrases to practice.

Definite one!

This is the best book ever because I can hear the pronunciation and repeat it. I have downloaded and bought so many other Spanish courses but this is the only one I can truly understand and repeat. Thank you so much for thinking of people who are just starting to learn the language
