Product Description

Product Description

You've mastered Spanish slang, conquered popular idioms, yet still feel like an outsider. The reason is simple. You haven't discovered the third piece to understanding everyday spanish: popular expletives and obscenities - those back-alley words and phrases constantly used in movies, books and coversations between native speakers.

STREET SPANISH 3 is the first step-by-step guide of its kind to explore the most comon curses, vulgarities, and obscenities used in many Spanish-speaking countries. Chapters include:
* Dating Slang
* Nonvulgar Insults & Putdowns
* Vulgar Insults & Name-Calling
* Body Parts in Slang
* Sexual Slang

* Bodily Functions, Sounds & Smells
* The Many Uses of "Mierda"
* The Many Uses of "Cagar"
* The Many Uses of "Co?o"
* The Many Uses of "Chingar" & "Joder"



* Being Obscene Unintentionally!




DAVID BURKE is also the author of STREET SPANISH 1: The Best of Spanish Slang; STREET SPANISH 2: The Best of Spanish Idioms; STREET FRENCH 1: The Best of French Slang; STREET FRENCH 2: The Best of French Idioms STREET FRENCH 3: The Best of Naughty French STREET FRENCH SLANG DICTIONARY & THESAURUS all available from Wiley; plus STREET SPEAK & BIZ SPEAK (American slang and idioms).


From the Publisher

The colloquial Spanish of everyday conversation and commerce is rarely taught in the language classroom. The Street Spanish Series fills this gap, supplying non-native speakers with the vernacular, vocabulary, and odd constructions needed to avoid embarrassment and communicate effectively in any situation. The third guide provides 10 easy lessons on expletives, euphemisms, and obscenities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Street Spanish, May 23 2002
By badu42 (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews

Although I honestly do not have this book, I just wanted to put to rest those who may find a few mistakes here and there in textbooks. Get over it! This is life, sweetheart. Having worked in a newspaper (two of them), mistakes such as these are common. More common than we'd like to admit.


I bought the older edition of Street Spanish (1991), and I was impressed. Not only that, but my SPANISH PROFESSOR FROM ARGENTINA HIGHLY COMMENDED THE BOOK. IN FACT, SHE AND I HAD BROUGHT OUR COPIES TO THE UNI ON THE SAME DAY, UNKNOWINGLY. She saw my copy on my desk and showed me hers. And it obviously was something she carried around a lot, because she had it along with her other items in her briefcase.


Like I said, I haven't seen his latest edition, but that definitely spoke volumes for me when she said it was a very good book.


I love the book. Wish they actually sold tapes along with the books now a days. It is very hard to find any spanish book besides Arriba (and only if you buy it new then), that comes with tapes. They usually sell it separately, or it costs a fortune and a dime.

2.0 out of 5 stars Way too many mistakes!, Jun 26 2001
By A Customer
THe author's literal translation of, "echar los perros" is, "to throw dogs".The book even has a picture of a man with a sack full of dogs that he is throwing at a girl.He tells us that it means to flirt.The literal translation is, "to sick the dogs on...(a girl,guy,etc.)"It means to court,woo...(a girl,guy, etc.) He sais that conejo,rabbit, is a bad word in Mexico.It may be a bad word in another country,not in Mexico.I found a bit too many mistakes when it comes to Mexican slang that it makes me question the entire book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have For Any Spanish Student :P, May 3 2001
I took three years of Spanish in High School and am currently taking a few Spanish classes at college. I found this book very entertaining and it definately added to my vocabulary in a way that not many Spanish teachers are willing to teach :) I was so happy with this book, I am going to go get the first two.
