Spanish with Vicky / Spanish with Vicky: Stop Being Such a Tourist and Finally Learn Español - by Victoria Ch (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

¿Harto de ser el típico guiri de turno al que detectan al instante y por quien, sin pensarlo dos veces, tu entorno cambia al inglés en cuanto dices tu primera palabra en español? Te sabes la gramática, has memorizado los verbos y crees que dominas el idioma, pero la realidad es otra: las conversaciones reales se sienten como una lengua completamente distinta.

¿El problema? Lo que aprendiste en los libros no se habla en la calle. Vicky es la solución para conocer el español de verdad. Te enseñará a comunicarte como un nativo, a sonar auténtico y, lo más importante, a que los españoles te respondan en español (¡por fin!) en lugar de volver a tu zona de confort en inglés.

Este es el libro definitivo para aprender castellano: sencillo, divertido y didáctico, con las explicaciones justas de gramática para no volver a cometer los mismos errores.
