5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent reference book for foreign speakers.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hamel's Bilingual Dictionary of Mexican Spanish: Diccionario Bilingue De Mexicanismos (Paperback)
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.
