Here's a book for learning Spanish for beginners written by a veteran Spanish high school teacher who has almost 20 years combined teaching experience teaching Spanish and ESL/EFL (and who has lived in Spain for the last four years). This book presents an international Spanish which gives alternative vocabulary words for Spain and Latin American countries when differences exist. The focus of this book is pronunciation, conversational phrases and vocabulary which are practical in everyday life, with a lesser focus on grammar (only basic grammar is presented ). For those interested in a little more grammar and vocabulary, I recommend my books "Spanish Made High School Simple" and "European Spanish Made Simple" (the latter book is for those only interested in Spanish as it's spoken in Spain).

Many language books are boring—this one is not. Written by a native English speaker who learned Spanish the hard way—by trying to talk to Spanish-speaking people—it offers English speakers with a basic knowledge of Spanish hundreds of tips for using the language more fluently and colloquially, with fewer obvious "gringo" errors. Writing with humor, common sense, and a minimum of jargon, Joseph Keenan covers everything from pronunciation, verb usage, and common grammatical mistakes to the subtleties of addressing other people, "trickster" words that look alike in both languages, inadvertent obscenities, and intentional swearing. He guides readers through the set phrases and idiomatic expressions that pepper the native speaker's conversation and provides a valuable introduction to the most widely used Spanish slang. With this book, both students in school and adult learners who never want to see another classroom can rapidly improve their speaking ability. Breaking Out of Beginner's Spanish will be an essential aid in passing the supreme language test-communicating fluently with native speakers.
