About this listen
Let's face it: the language market is changing. English has been the lingua franca for a while now, but it's not going to always be that way. It's projected that Chinese or Spanish might take over the English language as the lingua franca in the next century. So it makes sense that you're searching this book: Spanish is an in-demand language to know. By knowing Spanish, you're opening the door to communication with hundreds of millions of more people than you could speak with before. This makes you a desirable asset to a great number of companies and makes you an all-around better-rounded person.
I'm not certain why you picked this book up. It could be general curiosity about Spanish, you may be going on a trip and needing a crash course in Spanish before you do. Regardless of what your intent is, the key fact is that you're looking for the best possible way to learn Spanish while getting the best bang for your buck, too. This book is everything you're looking for.
Are you looking for a fantastic and in-depth way to learn a new language? Why not treat your brain and go about it the natural way? That's right, your brain has a natural way of learning language, and you simply aren't taking advantage of it. Our brains are hardwired to act on a complex system of concepts and context clues in order to figure out language. This is why most polyglots in the world will tell you that the absolute best way to learn a language is by simply immersing yourself in it.

But what if this isn't the true story? What if you could easily learn a new language and have fun doing it? In this book, I pull back the curtain to reveal the mindset and methodology of a polyglot. This book will dispel the myths, lay the foundations of the correct mindset for success, and inspire you to commit to learning that language you've always wanted to master.

Jessica really wanted to learn Spanish but thought she just couldn’t find the time to do so. She tried everything from one on one lessons before work to attending local Mexican parties in hopes of finding Spanish-speaking friends. Nothing seemed like it was going to work and if it did, it was going to take too much time. With no positive results coming from any of these attempts, Jessica began to believe that learning a new language was going to be an impossible task.

Spanish is more popular than ever before. Maybe because of the undeniable sex appeal of Latino legends such as Shakira and Pablo Alborán. Maybe because there are 21 Spanish speaking countries you might not want to miss out on. Charles the Fifth already once said if he were to speak to God, he would speak in the Spanish tongue. Whatever motivates you to learn the language of God, I promise you won't regret it.

Story
With dazzling wit and astonishing insight, Bill Bryson - the acclaimed author of The Lost Continent - brilliantly explores the remarkable history, eccentricities, resilience, and sheer fun of the English language. From the first descent of the larynx into the throat (why you can talk but your dog can't) to the fine lost art of swearing, Bryson tells the fascinating, often uproarious story of an inadequate, second-rate tongue of peasants that developed into one of the world's largest growth industries.

Story
In this unique new history of the world's most ubiquitous language, linguistics expert David Crystal draws on words that best illustrate the huge variety of sources, influences, and events that have helped to shape our vernacular since the first definitively English word was written down in the fifth century ("roe", in case you are wondering). Featuring Latinate and Celtic words, weasel words and nonce-words, ancient words ("loaf") to cutting edge ("twittersphere") and spanning the indispensable words that shape our tongue ("and", "what") to the more fanciful ("fopdoodle"), Crystal takes us along the winding byways of language.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Well explained!
I found this book very clear for a rank beginner in Spanish. They start with the building blocks and go from there. I do wish they had more examples of word use in a sentence. I like that they have explained exams for each section so you can test yourself right away to see what you remembered.

Made learning very easier
When I first bought this book I was a beginner and it was very hard to understand, but as I progressed of course it became easier. As a beginner, I found this book helpful to listen aloud and practice my pronunciation. I listen a story a few times a week just to continue progress. I recommend this book to anyone listen Spanish.

I enjoyed this. I thought that the conversations were interesting and plausible. It's laid out well to use with someone else to practice speaking. I had a good time working with my daughter to help up both sharpen our speaking skills. Good book for beginners and intermediates.

Highly practical
This is a great book that is highly practical. I especially like the length of the conversations. They are short enough to practice loud and/or into a recorder to practice speaking and listening comprehension in addition to the reading comprehension.
