This book features slang for both Spain and Latin America. It indicates which expressions are used in which countries. It includes a section on native banter that will help readers make friends over a pitcher of Sangria and convince the local taco maker that it's OK to spice things up with a few fresh habaneros. The book also provides not-approved-for-nuns sex terminology graphic enough to embarrass the street walkers of Madrid's infamous Red Light district.Nobody speaks in strictly formal address anymore. Certainly not in Spain and Latin America, where a new love of pop culture is transforming traditional societies. This totally-up-to-date book fills in the gap between how people really talk in the Spanish speaking world and what Spanish language students are taught.
