New! Our Real Spanish Phrase Book and Audio Guide!
When I started learning Spanish here in Spain over 10 years ago, one of the things that most motivated and inspired me was picking up and trying out the real Spanish phrases and expressions used by Spanish people in their everyday conversations. With Marina’s help I’ve been collecting these colloquial expressions for years, and at last we have finished a really exciting project that means we can share them with you.
Our Real Spanish Phrase Book and Audio Guide contains over 100 of these wonderful, typical Spanish phrases, with over 1 hour and 20 minutes of exclusive audio that won’t be released in any of the usual podcast feeds. We really think this is going to be tremendously useful and exciting for anyone learning Spanish, no matter what your level.

I heard the audio and looks great, although I find better Latin American spanish than the Iberian Spanish.

Romexi – which Latin American Spanish do you mean, there are so many!

Marina and Ben: I just found your website last week on Itunes and I’m hooked. Keep up the good work. As for your Spanish Phrase book, I had a question or two. Is the content mostly regional (Spain) or would you say it’s more universal (Spain and Latin America)? I live in Los Angeles, California and you’d have more luck finding a Martian than a Spaniard here. Also…how about taking pity on us Yanks and offer a discount on your book…at least until the dollar strengthens and gas prices go down (I’m not holding by breath!).

Hi Neil,
The book focuses mostly on Spanish from Spain, but many of these phrases will work elsewhere, and even if the odd one is met with a look of confusion in Chile or Mexico, you can bet it will lead to a really interesting conversation where you learn their version as well!

Now that sounds like an interesting project. One of the cool things about learning Spanish in a foreign country such as Spain or Mexico is the local differences in vocabulary, especially phrases. I remember one trip to spain, my first one, and a friend of mine askedfor a “torta” which is the word for sandwich in Mexico, but which sounds more like a, I think this is the word, “tortazo” which I am not sure I spelled correctly which means a punch. Just goes to show you to be carefull with your vocabulary.
