ENJO Y MÉXICO IN SPANISH

                                 A Guide to MEXICAN Spanish
 

THIS IS ONE BOOK NO TRAVELER IN MÉXICO SHOULD DO WITHOUT! 
 
The Guadalajara Reporter called Enjoy México in Spanish a "quirky, unusual and immensely practical little book that could accomplish the impossible: make neophyte expate gringos communicate in Spanish."
 
 
Enjoy México in Spanish grew out of David Bodwell's frustration with exiswting phrasebooks, which are mostly written for the British traveler, or meant to approximate a dialect -- and vocabulary -- very different from that used in Mexico.  Unlike traditional phrasebooks, Enjoy México in Spanish neither "makes do" with approximations of Mexican Spanish sounds, not relies on a complicated scheme of phoenetic symbors.  Nor does it depend on memorizing one phrase that may or may not be applicable in any given situation.  Instead, people usingEnjoy México in Spanishlearn to build basic sentences that -- properly pronounced -- are understandable and unlikely to confuse a waiter... a travel agent... or the police.
 
 
Field tested on random non-English speakers, Guadalajara Reporter's Alex Gervais found "everyone agreed that the meaning communicated was extremely clear".
 
 
Recently updated, Enjoy México in Spanish also includes a discussion of the cultural reasons why certain words are -- or are not -- used.
