This easy-to-understand and fully illustrated handbook teaches essential Spanish using real-life examples so you can confidently apply this important language in everyday situations such as meeting new people, ordering at restaurants, and shopping. For many of us, learning a second language can conjure memories of frustration and embarrassment with rote grammar and vocabulary drills that were boring and unnecessary, yet the Spanish language is vibrant, diverse, can be found all around us every day--in the workplace, stores, and restaurants. However, some of us have either blocked out, forgotten, or simply did not learn the basics of Spanish. With Everyday Spanish Made Easy, author Rod Mebane brings Spanish back to the forefront of our brains and re-teaches (or teaches) all the basic and necessary concepts you need to start speaking this important language with confidence immediately. Using an encouraging voice throughout, each chapter is devoted to a specific Spanish grammar and vocabulary topic and explains the underlying basic functions in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Step-by-step instructions on topics such as how to greet people, how to explain your likes and dislikes, and how to understand directions.
