TheGuadalajara Reporter called Enjoy México... in Spanish "a quirky, unusual and immensely practical little book that could accomplish the impossible: make neophyte expat gringos communicate in Spanish."

Enjoy México... In Spanish grew out of David Bodwell's frustration with existing phrasebooks, which are mostly written for the British traveler, or meant to proximate 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, nor rely on a complicated scheme of phonetic symbols, nor does it depend on memorizing one phrase that may or may not be applicable in any given situation. Instead, people using Enjoy México... In Spanish learn to build basic sentences that -- properly pronounced -- are understandable and unlikely to confuse a waiter... a travel agent... or the police.
