Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Bilingual Dictionary of Mexican Spanish This book is great for Mexican phrases and words. The only downside to it is that you have to know the Mexican word first. I use it in my Spanish class where my teacher is a Mexican. She uses it to explain words she uses that we don't understand when they are 'Mexican Spanish'. It is very helpful, however, I would like to see a complete Mexican Spanish/English, English/Mexican Spanish Dictionary. Rating:  - What those words "really" meanExcellent resource for Spanish as it is really spoken, especially for those of us who live in the Southwest. Rating: - Outstanding if you can get past the typosThis book has proved its worth several times since I bought it. I think students of Mexican literature might find the most utility from it. Besides defining the words and providing an English equivalent for most of them, the dictionary illustrates usage with excerpts from newspaper articles, journals, mock conversations and works by authors such as Juan Rulfo and Carlos Fuentes. I would also like to thank Mr. Hamel for returning my phone call and answering my question about his other bilingual dictionary. ... Read More Rating: - Excellent reference book for foreign speakers.An excellent reference book recommended by my Spanish instructor. It is of great help in reading periodicals and deciphering conversations in Mexican Spanish. While beginners will enjoy browsing through the book and should certainly consider adding a copy to their reference materials, they will find that they cannot look up phrases in English to put into Spanish. This is not an English/Spanish dictionary. |
