"Cuica," "guagua," "fome," "cabro chico," "al tiro," "charcha..."
all these words and phrases might sound new to you, but they are
common in the Chilean Spanish. Speaking Chileno, already a
bestseller in Chile, is the most up-to-date reference book of
Chilean Spanish vocabulary. It features more than 2,000 words and
phrases explained in English, many with sample sentences. This
dictionary-style book also includes 29 humorous cartoon
illustrations, plus short sections about Chilean gestures,
pronunciation, and grammar. Quick reference sections group common
Chilean words and phrases for food, drink, terms for the body,
types of clothing and key words that are found in the daily spoken
language. This book is indispensable for anyone with ties to Chile.
First-time visitors to Chile, native Chileans and even people
looking to connect to their Chilean family and heritage will find
Speaking Chileno useful as they enjoy Chilean Spanish. The Chilean
edition of Speaking Chileno has been featured in the Chilean
International Book Fair, has also been part of the El Mercurio
Readers Club and has appeared in Chilean newspapers. Seaking
Chileno follows the light-hearted, humorous style of the other
books in the Speaking Latino series: Speaking Boricua and Speaking
Argento that were the result of the experience of a gringo, Jared
Romey, living, working and mingling among locals in these
countries. IS THIS BOOK FOR ME? This bilingual book contains words
that are not appropriate for kids. If you are just starting to
learn Spanish, this book is best used as a complementary reference
source to any program or class designed to teach you Spanish. This
book and the other books of the Speaking Latino series are not
designed as stand-alone learning aids, to teach you Spanish.
Instead, they expand your country-specific Spanish vocabulary. If
you already speak Spanish, this book help you understand local
Spanish from Chile. Be sure to use the Amazon Look Inside function
to see what this book will and will not teach.
