Book Reviews of Mexican Spanish: Lonely Planet Phrasebook
Book Review: Don't go to Mexico without it!
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I went to Mexico to get married and we are not Spanish speakers. This handy book is first class and here are the reasons why:-
The book is small enough to easily fit into a coat or shirt pocket.
It has drawings of common situations with arrows pointing at items in the drawing with the Mexican word highlighted (how much easier could they make it)
The sections in the book are colour coordinated according to the situations you may find yourself (reservations,dining,partying... etc. Flick to the section and then use the obvious sentences to converse around the subject.
Pronunciation and grammar are explained clearly at the start of the book and all the words in the book are laid out phonetically (the only way you are going to get this wrong is if you can't read)
In conclusion, a first class guide, when we showed the book to the locals in Mexico they wanted to know if they could buy it in Mexico as they didn't think they could. They loved the pictures and even chipped in to help with correct pronunciation if we went astray.
The Mexican slang in the book is spot on, the Mexicans couldn't believe that some of the words were in the book.
When I go back to Mexico this book will be in my pocket, don't leave home without it.
Highly recommended
