De: Orbis Language Center

Narrado por: Nicole Laikola, Gryphon Corpus

Take your speaking, listening, and comprehension to the next level. You will master more than 300 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 audiobook will provide you with a generous 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 audiobook also contains numerous idioms and colloquialisms that 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

Good examples of Conversation

This is a pretty quick read with some good examples of common sentence and conversation constructs. While it is an interesting story that kept me engaged I had to constantly overlook how far fetched the story was. Take it for what it is an entertaining way to improve your Spanish.

Fantastic learning tool

I like everything that they put, but this is a step and a half above other books like this.

Conversations in Simple Spanish

I would have liked the vocabulary at the beginning of each story. I really think that having the audio is important so that one can listen to only the audio first to better pick up Spanish conversation. It would be nice if one could interact with the story by recording our conversations of some characters by acting out Spanish text.

Read it for the learning lessons

The tips at the beginning of this book make it worth buying. The lessons are well organized and the whole system is great to help you improve your Spanish. This was an enjoyable able and easy read as I am learning Spanish. I like the helpful vocabulary words at the end of each section.

Great Audio book

In terms of language learning, I keep listening about the importance of comprehensible input. I'm so glad Orbis Language Center is creating books like this with interesting stories and great supportive materials, especially at this level.

Great!

Super easy for everyone! I have read this book, it describes the easiest to learn the Spanish language! I highly recommended it.

Good for beginners

This book was just what I was looking for, a way to get exposure to "real" Spanish conversation at a level I can follow, or at least puzzle out. The story is a little hokey but still entertaining and moves right along.

Learn Spanish in a Conversational Way

This book is simple enough for a beginner and uses vocabulary in a way that helps you incorporate it into your own conversations. I find it to be a practical way to learn a language. I definitely need audio with a native speaker at normal speed to help automatically assimilate the language in my mind and to be able to learn to speak and understand Spanish in a more natural way.

Enjoyed This author.

Good story. Added words gradually. Good for my level. I’ll read more from this author. Better than most. This is the best book on spoken Spanish that I’ve read. You can never find a book with Spanish so real and natural like this one.

Great way to improve Spanish

I like how the book details a conversation and then lists the vocabulary immediately afterward. This will help me improve my Spanish. He makes learning Spanish fun instead of boring. The stories are great. I highly recommend.
