3,000 Spanish Words and Phrases They Won't Teach You in School goes beyond classroom Spanish by thoroughly explaining expressions, idioms, and quirks used daily by native speakers.

Translation of common proverbs: like When in Rome, do as the Romans do . Slang: Like ¡Alivianate!-- cheer up or get high Dual words: like integro and entero--with the same meaning. False cognates: Words that are similar but have very different meanings in English and Spanish
