5 out of 5 stars Excellent Idiom Starter.......2007-06-27

This is an excellent book and CD to acquaint beginners with many American idioms. The way it is put together so coherently in short stories makes it simple to learn but at the same time efficient. The CD is also very well done. Even advanced students of English as a second language can find something to learn here.

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant (Brillante).......2007-04-07

I believe this book is a must for the ESL classroom, since it is effective even while not being that expensive.

4 out of 5 stars Language education.............2006-02-22

I bought this book for my girlfriend in Panama and this book has been very helpful. She knew some basic English but now is speaking English better and knows more words. She really likes the CD which she listens to in her car.

5 out of 5 stars Fun way to study English.......2003-07-04

I can recommend Speak English Like an American to you. It is a very good way to learn important and useful American English idioms and expressions. I like the fact that the idioms are used in a story, then you get another example in a sentence, and then definitions in Spanish. There are good exercises also. This is a very interesting way how to study the language. I am using some of these expressions at work and people at my office are saying, "Oh Juanita, your English is improving!"

Book Description

There is no such thing as "standard Spanish slang." Each Spanish-speaking country has its own vocabulary, although some of it may be shared with other countries.
Diccionario de Jergas de Habla Hispana's slang terms are classified by country and enriched with sample sentences, with a section that lists "shared" terms, a section with comparative examples of sentences with the slang typical of each country as well as a section with slang curiosities that demonstrate the subtle (and blatant) differences in usage depending on the country. There is a section on the USA's Spanglish in addition to those of Spain and Spanish-speaking Latin American countries.
In addition to slang terms, the Latin American dictionaries include subsections highlighting non-Spanish origin vocabulary used in everyday Spanish (from indigenous languages Taino, Nahuatl, Aymara and Quechua) as well as Americanisms. A Spanish slang dictionary for people who are fluent in Spanish or who are advanced students of the language.


Diccionario de Jergas de Habla Hispana: el diccionario más completo de coloquialismos del español de España y América.
Más de 7,500 términos entre términos jergales y americanismos usados en el habla cotidiana y coloquial de más de 20 países (con un apartado especial para EEUU) con ejemplos ilustrativos que además reflejan el modo de hablar en el país en cuestión.
* Sección de términos compartidos para saber cuáles son los términos jergales o americanismos compartidos y por cuáles países.
* Sección de curiosidades jergales, con una lista de términos idénticos pero con acepciones diferentes según el país, para evitar malenten-didos
* Sección de ejemplos en jerga, para comparar las diferencias al expresar un mismo concepto en la jerga de cada país.

5 out of 5 stars Magnífico trabajo | Great work.......2007-05-28

La idea de un diccionario que recoja las peculiaridades idiomáticas de los distintos países hispanos empezaba a ser una necesidad. El trabajo recopilatorio que ha dado vida a este diccionario, tanto más valioso cuanto que no ha sido realizado por académicos, resulta una ayuda extraordinaria para todos aquellos que deseen comprender mejor la hermosa diversidad de una América Latina que posee un latiente corazón común: La hispanidad.

--

This dictionary is simply great; it was needed to compilate all the Latin America's idiomatic peculiarities, so this dictionary becomes a wonderful tool to better understand the beautiful diversity which beats in Latin America as only one heart: Hispanity.

5 out of 5 stars Indispensible.......2007-03-04

I have used (and love) the website that accompanies this book - www.jergasdehablahispana.org - I love that it's organized by country, but you have to click on each letter over and over. Great information, but too much clicking. So...the wonderful solution is this book. I, personally, love the way this is organized. I love having a portable version of the website. And as far as thoroughness, this wins hands down! I have not seen another source in print or online that offers such an extensive collection of Spanish slang and colloquialisms. As an interpreter this ranks as one of my favorite resources.

3 out of 5 stars Orden alfabético único en lugar del agrupamiento por países.......2007-02-12

Soy interprete profesional y traductor y he adquirido este libro para agregar vocablos de jerga a mi tarea habitual en las cortes e institutos policiales y de detención.

El ordenamiento de vocablos por países NO me resulta práctico; se hace engorroso buscar las expresiones ordenadas por país ante una situación de emergencia y tal cosa no es práctica dado que usualmente el mismo término es utilizado por varios países.

Preferiria que la autora hubiese agrupado TODOS los terminos en UN solo ordenamiento, y que - si le interesase aportar datos originarios de cada término - lo hubiese aclarado al lado de cada uno, lo cual usualmente es poco relevante para la tarea profesional de interpretación o traducción.

En síntesis, como libro de consulta profesional resulta poco útil porque su diseño ha sido imaginado con un criterio de clasificacion erróneo.

El contenido específico del libro tampoco es completo; me hubiese gustado que la autora se tomase el trabajo de investigar un poco más algunas expresiones que suelen tener varios significados.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding!.......2006-10-11

Wow! This book is a TREASURE! Beautifully written and meticulously researched, it is far and away the most useful of all Spanish slang dictionaries. I disagree that it is only useful to fluent speakers of Spanish or advanced students -- it is also an essential tool for Spanish learners who listen to popular Spanish-language music, those who have native Spanish-speaking friends, ESL teachers, translators (to and from Spanish), Spanish instructors; in short, to anyone interested in the language, from academics to lovers of word play.

Jergas de Habla Hispana is a Spanish-Spanish dictionary, not a "learn Spanish" book, but it is an exciting new resource for learners and lovers of the language, a-finger-on-the-pulse compendium of slang and regionalisms from all Spanish-speaking countries -- including the growing "Spanglish" of the US.

In the past ten years or so as the US has firmly taken its place as the third-largest Spanish-speaking country, hundreds of new "learn Spanish" books and dictionaries have been published -- many of them, frankly, big yawns... or rip-offs.

Jergas de Habla Hispana is all "meat." It's a delight. Buy it!

5 out of 5 stars An exhaustive job.......2006-07-25

Trying to understand people the right way in every country in every situation is quite difficult.

Roxana's extensive job was done after 9 years of research work, and will never be finished.

The dynamic behavior of human habits is also reflected in their language, and this dynamism is many times more frequent when slang is the matter.This book is for everybody: simple, well explained and plain of examples which make the reader fully understand the meaning of almost all uses of each ord.
-------
Tratar de entender a la gente en la manera correcta en cualquier país y en cualquier situación es bastante difícil.
El extenso trabajo de Roxana fue realizado después de 9 años de investigación y nunca va a ser finalizado.

El comportamiento dinámico de los hábitos humanos se refleja en su lenguaje, y ese dinamismo es muchas veces más frecuente cuando de jergas se trata.

Este libro es para todos: simple, bien explicado y lleno de ejemplos que hacen que el lector comprenda completeamente el significado de casi todos los usos de cada palabra.

4 out of 5 stars una Biblia para todos.......2006-09-05

Cuando se trata de la versión de la Biblia que uno usa en las Américas, se está entrando en un campo de minas. Por décadas, los evangélicos se diferenciaron de los católicos latinoamericanos no sólo por su hábito de leer la Biblia fervientemente, sino también por la Biblia que leyeron: no pudo ser ni más ni menos que la venerable Reina Valera.

A partir de los años ochenta, varias versiones nuevas comenzaron a surgir, en algunos casos editadas para ambos públicos que amaban la Biblia: el evangélico *y* el católico.

La versión más exitosa en sentido ecuménico ha sido la Versión Popular, también conocida como 'Dios Habla Hoy'.

Preparada sin o con los libros deuterocanónicos, esta Biblia ganó el aprecio de muchos lectores por su fidelidad a los textos hebreos, arameos y griegos, de los cuales sirve como puente al mundo de habla española. También impresionó con su castellano fluído y accesible.

Después de una década y media de enseñar la Biblia en un seminario evangélico costarricense, el respeto que siento por el 'Dios Habla Hoy' solo va en auge.

Al fin de cuentas, no importa tanto cuál versión de la Biblia lees. Pero si te sientes indeciso, lée la Versión Popular.

Book Description

Se habla español smells like french fries, tastes like Coca-Cola and hamburgers, but it also has the flavor of nachos and salsa, and of mango-guava smoothies. This collection of short stories reflects the Latin American experience in the United States. These are works by 36 young writers who entered the literary world during the '90s with a style described as serious, yet irreverent. Edited by Edmundo Paz Soldán and Alberto Fuguet, it explores the space occupied by the United States within the Latin American cultural imagery. It illustrates the contradictions presented by the dream of material progress and the nightmare of ruthless capitalism, and the fulfillment of all desires over the mirage of a never- attainable promise.

Blurb in Spanish: Se habla español tiene el aroma de french fries, el sabor a Coca-Cola y hamburguesas, pero también a nachos y salsa, a cortaditos y smoothies de mango-guayaba. Esta colección de cuentos muestra la experiencia latinoamericana en Estados Unidos. Son piezas escritas por 36 autores jóvenes que irrumpieron en el mundo literario de los años noventa, con una propuesta seria pero irreverente. El libro, compilado por Edmundo Paz Soldán y Alberto Fuguet, explora el lugar que ocupa Estados Unidos en el imaginario cultural latinoamericano. Asimismo, ilustra las contradicciones del sueño del progreso material y la pesadilla del capitalismo salvaje, y cuestiona la satisfacción de los deseos a la luz del espejismo de una promesa que no cesa de alejarse.

Me interesa mucho este libro. Estudio español en una universidad y lo usé para una presentación. Si sería usted un estudiante, que estudia español y se interesa la cultura chinana, se ayuda mucho, creo.

5 out of 5 stars It was about time!.......2001-05-06

The stories in this book are refreshing and resonate with the experience of many latin americans who live or visit the U.S. Some of them are just plain good stories. It's great to hear from the new generation of "latin american" authors whose views of the U.S. (and life) are very different from those of the names we are used to reading and hearing from. What a great collection - especially for us generation X-ers!

5 out of 5 stars excelente.......2001-01-13

He disfrutado mucho de esta antologia editada por dos magnificos escritores jovenes latinoamericanos. Gracias a esta recopilación he podido conocer a magníficos escritores de los que antes nunca escuche. No se pierdan el segundo o el tercer cuento: Pequeno diccionario del spanglish.

1 out of 5 stars The Mother of All Anthologies.......2000-11-19

This book attempts to cover too much ground, throws over too wide a net, and catches all kind of fish. Some are dolphins that shouldn't have been killed by this compilation, some are fish that should have never been picked out of the water. Either Hispanic America deserves a better contemporary anthology, or just better writers.

    Book Description

    Stillness Speaks, written by bestselling author Eckhart Tolle, conveys a timely and transformational message. Taking the form of 200 individual entries, it is organized into ten topic clusters that range from “Who You Truly Are” to “Acceptance and Surrender” and “Relationships.” The entries vary from a few sentences to nearly a page. Each one is concise and complete in itself, and serves as a valuable pointer to the truth while standing as its own teaching or meditation.

        This book looks at what it is like to be bilingual from the child's perspective. We hear too much about immigration issues and we sometimes forget what it is like for the child- legal or illegal. Wonderful story that I plan to usewith my students at the start of the new year.
