Sayings and proverbs are priceless verbal traditions for all to share. And everyone has a favorite. They are unique because in a few words, a deeply serious message can be woven. It is impossible to read proverbs and sayings without learning something important, and perhaps feeling that each one was written especially for you. The proverbs and sayings in this book cause a glow that makes you want to return to them again and again. Also included are rhymes (chiquillados), riddles (adivinanzas), beliefs (creencias) and a bibliography. The Spanish/English text is set in dictionary format for easy reading. A must for those interested in Spanish culture.

This review is from: Dichos: Proverbs and Sayings from the Spanish (Paperback)
Reading this book "Dichos" sure brings back memories of when I was growing up; my mom and my grandma. I recognized so many of the "Dichos" as I was reading through the book of my mom & grandma saying these "dichos". Those were the good old days. This book deserves 5 stars.

as someone learning Spanish (and have been for about 18 years off and on!) this little publication is a useful addition to my collection of hispanic publications - with interesting and sometimes useful and usable sayings.
