This is the best book of idioms I have found. The book is organized alphabetically with both English-to-Spanish and Spanish-to-English sections. I found it extremely useful during my trip to South America.

I studied Spanish in Buenos Aires, and my teacher was so impressed with the book, she asked that I send her a copy from the US. Without a knowledge of idioms, conversations become dull and and it is difficult to read Spanish newspapers. You can't beat the book's comprehensive coverage. And you certainly can't beat the price!

This Guide to Spanish idioms is a must have for students who have mastered conversational Spanish and are looking to continuously improve and sound like a native speaker. This priceless resource gives great scope on the pragmatics of the language that most grammar books don't cover in detail. The pragmatics of a language is usually the idiomatic expressions, exceptions to rules, false cognates just to name a few that need to be mastered in order to speak confidently and properly in Spanish. Many of the expressions, words, reflexive and non-reflexive verbs covered in this guide will clarify the doubts or queries that you may have had and sometimes finding a correct answer in a grammar text or dictionary is comparable to the impossible. The book is well laid out alphabetically therefore you will have no difficulty researching expressions. If you read Spanish language newspapers, magazines, books of any kind expressions such as the ones in this guide are used daily in the written and spoken language. This is a must have for students, teachers and independent study.

This book is a must have for anyone serious about moving into fluency and spoken Spanish. There are so many common phrases/idioms here, I don't know why this book isn't more popular. A must buy!

This is a good reference book to have in your library. It didn't appear to have a lot of modern phrases in it, some that I hear often. Overall it will give you a good base. I'd suggest you buy a used copy.

The book arrived on time, as the vendor promised and it was in good shape also. Thank you for being honest.

I recently received Guide to Spanish Idioms and am impressed. It is well organized and not overwhelming. I have found almost every idiom I have looked up. It will advance your Spanish so that you don't give away that you learned Spanish in a classroom or from a book.
