description: Spanish Among Amigos Phrasebook is aimed at people who already have a little Spanish under their belts. It's geared to anyone who wants to get beyond "survival" Spanish and really start conversing and making "amigos". This one-of-a-kind phrasebook provides readers with all the tools they need to carry on a conversation. Apart from comprehensive lists of ready-to-go-phrases that will get the reader sounding like a native, the phrasebook offers grammar pointers, insights into Spanish culture, notes on idioms and slang, and tips on avoiding common blunders. It also contains true-to-life conversations "among amigos" featuring Pepa and Pili, two sassy young women from Madrid, and their friend Mark, an American whose Spanish doesn't quite measure up. Readers also have the chance to practice the phrases in fill-in-the-blank dialogues at the end of each unit.
