Que Loco, what a great book

I live in Southern California, I brought this to work and all the hispanic folks loved this thing. One guy said "wow, we use that all the time and this is the first time I really know what it means, now I can tell my kids" Very neat book, very useful, muy bueno.

Very comprehensive and accurate

I love this book. It will introduce you to the real, homemade language of the Mexican people. Have you studied Spanish for ages, yet when you hear young Mexicans talking to each other on the street you have no idea what they're talking about? Well, it's probably because you aren't familiar with the Mexican slang, which is real important in understanding everyday Mexican speech. This book shows you how Mexicans actually speak. It's got all of the most frequently heard words and phrases like "guey," "chingon," and "canton". It omits some common slang like "No manches" and "orale" but other than that I highly recommend this book.
