Book Description

Xenophobe's Guide July 1, 2003

Spanish for Xenophobes is a humorous approach to Spanish that shows you can speak the language simply by using Plain English.

Fun in the sun

Anyone attempting to understand the Spanish must first of all recognize the fact that they do not consider anything important except total enjoyment. If it is not enjoyable it will be ignored.

 

You can't buy happiness

The happiness of the individual is considered to be much more important than money. The goat herder who strolls the countryside with his animals breathing in the fresh air and loving his problem-less life is much more admired than the wealthy industrialist who hasn't time to enjoy life and spends quite a lot of his earnings on medicines to calm his peptic ulcers.

From the Back Cover

Spanish for Xenophobes is a humorous approach to Spanish that shows you can speak the lingo simply by using plain English. Invaluable phrases will trip off your tongue, gems like: "Do you have a garlic-free zone?", "Your donkey is standing on my foot" and "It's going to take how long?" Xenophobia is an irrational fear of foreigners, probably justified, always understandable.
Xenophobe's Guides are an irreverent look at the beliefs and foibles of nations, almost guaranteed to cure Xenophobia.
