Mexican Spanish

Very nice addition to learning Spanish. Useful contemporary phrases which aren't always indicated in other materials.

Great For Vacations

A must if your planning to visit Mexico and its also a great buy if you just learning spanish on your own. I had the Central America Spanish book by Lonely Planet also a few years ago and left it on a locomotive. This one is just as great if not a little better if your going to Mexico. Very well put together and easy to flip threw to find what you need to learn. Ya cant go wrong with any of the language books they print.

LAM

I think these books are perfect for any traveler. With the Spanish language being so unique to each country, the phrasebooks allow you to familiarize yourself with a specific Latin American region. I used the Costa Rican book last year when I visited and found it so useful that I left it with my friend who had just moved there. She found it so helpful that she still carries it with her everyday in her purse. I got my father the Mexican phrasebook for Christmas so he could communicate better with some of his employees at work. I think he has found it very useful as well.

So handy, I bought two.

This little book is packed with valuable information and advise when traveling in Mexico.I found the phrases useful and adequate. The book covers every thing from buying groceries to ending up in the Doctor's office. The size of the book is also a plus since it fits into small purses and fanny packs. In 06,I spent a month in Mexico going to village to village and found this book immensley helpful. Go for it!

I just want to say how pleased I am I have bought this phrasebook. I have used it on my recent visit to Mexico. It was a 'perfect companion'. The book is extremely well organised, covers what a visitor needs like food, shopping, etc. It also goes beyond what most phrasebooks have to offer. It has an unusual linguistic awareness of the language and its regional dialects. This is a taste of what could be developed into a course book on the Mexican language and its dialects. That would be most welcome. We want more!
