The kind of mistakes a 4-year old Spanish-speaking kid wouldn't even make. If you answered "yes," then keep reading. When we were kids learning to speak our first language we had our parents, teachers and other adults to correct our English blunders. But unless a Spanish-speaking adult happens to be your Spanish instructor, he or she is going to be very reluctant to correct your speaking-Spanish mistakes. Adults just don't go around correcting other adults's grammatical or vocabulary blunders in Spanish (or even in English). When was the last time you corrected an adult Spanish speaker's English? Without anyone to correct your blunders, you continue to make the same Spanish-speaking mistakes every time you open your mouth to have a conversation in Spanish. This puts the brakes on your learning to speak Spanish and stops you from speaking Spanish with complete confidence - let alone achieve fluency. But there's a solution . . . In this book, you'll discover: How to avoid over 100 Spanish-speaking mistakes Over a dozen Spanish verbs that English speakers have trouble conjugating 7 common mistakes English speakers make with Spanish vocabulary when dining at a restaurant 2 embarrassing Spanish bloopers English-speaking males make (Hint: only one involves mistakenly saying he's pregnant) 3 mistakes English speakers make with "Por vs. Para" 2 errors English speakers make when talking about someone's size or something's size in Spanish The one most common blunder English speakers make when telling the time in Spanish 3 quizzes to reinforce the Spanish you learn and to guarantee you don't continue to make the same slip-ups Even if you've already purchased every learning-Spanish program and book on the market and made little or no progress, this book will enable you to speaker Spanish with greater confidence.
