Spanish Without the Fuss

Want to brush up on your Spanish, but you're traumatized by the memory of your grammar-obsessed high school teacher?

Spanish Without the Fuss will teach you the everyday Spanish spoken on the streets of Guadalajara, Madrid, and Buenos Aires-and you won't have to cram down long lists of verb conjugations. 20 simple lessons do all the right things to help you learn fast: * Nontraditional teaching methods help you understand, speak, and soon think in Spanish without obsessing over details. * Funny, convincing dialogues let you speak naturally and stay motivated. * Practical, up-to-date vocabulary and slang keep you from sounding like a textbook. * Lifestyle, popular-culture, and history notes make you feel like an insider from the start. * Smart activities give you plenty of opportunity to practice. * A simple, straightforward approach to grammar teaches what's really useful without nit-picking and technical jargon. Spanish Without the Fuss will fill your free moments with fun and do wonders for your Spanish in a matter of weeks! You'll also find references for Spanish Internet sites, movies, and music; an extensive glossary; a grammar summary; and maps of Spain, Mexico, and Central and South America.
