Speak English Like an American: for Native Spanish Speakers (Habla ingles como los americanos) Book & Audio CD set (Spanish Edition)

This book provided a great adjunct for my ESL student after she became familiar with the regular grammar and verb transitions in the text we were using from her beginning lessons. It is a fun book of idioms and lingo that one is going to encounter when learning to understand other English speakers. It gives the ESL learner a real head start into making conversation in his/her real world, beyond ESL lessons.
