Story
Language learning is seen as something incredibly difficult, and most speakers of English are brought up with the idea that we English speakers just aren't good at learning languages. 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.

You've probably been wasting time studying. If you've been using traditional language learning tools like classes or software to teach you Spanish -- I can almost guarantee it. These classes focus on memorization, basic vocabulary, routine phrases and conversations. And, naturally, these are all important. But, here's the thing -- most traditional Spanish classes are missing critical information that could save you hours of time and effort.

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.

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 more people than you could speak with before.

Most people think the way to write a best seller is to have a lot of talent and even more luck. As you will learn, there is a recipe for success, and luck may be the least important ingredient in creating a best seller. No one has cracked the code better than James Scott Bell. A best-selling author himself, and the author of the number-one best seller for writers, Plot & Structure, Mr. Bell has been teaching the principles of best-selling fiction for over 20 years, principles that apply to any genre or style.

Grammar! For many of us, the word triggers memories of finger-wagging schoolteachers, and of wrestling with the ambiguous and complicated rules of using formal language. But what is grammar? In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write. As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.

Story
A survey of the quirks and quandaries of the English language, focusing on our strange and wonderful grammar. Why do we say "I am reading a catalog" instead of "I read a catalog"? Why do we say "do" at all? Is the way we speak a reflection of our cultural values? Delving into these provocative topics and more, Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue distills hundreds of years of fascinating lore into one lively history.

Nice book..
I used this book to help me improve my Spanish skills for conversation. I get enough of practicing conjugation and vocabulary in lessons from textbooks. These stories help bring that knowledge to life.

Good for beginners
I enjoyed the audible book. I found that it helped me to pronounce Spanish words and I was able to pick up on some words I recognised. The book uses simple language and words which helps a beginner to understand how sentence structure works.

Great audiobook for Spanish learners !
This is a great audiobook for someone who already has some idea of spanish but wants to get more fluent. There's all kinds of different stories that are told so you don't get bored and it makes the learning process fun and natural. I think the best way to learn a language is to visit the country and speak to the people and this is basically like doing that but without leaving your home. I think it's a great product. Highly recommend it!

Used this for my Spanish training
I started learning Spanish when I lived in Spanin years ago and have since forgotten a lot. I used this book as a resource to rejuvenate my love for the language and reacquaint my brain when the spoken word. It worked wonders! Very good and I would suggest it to anyone with decent comprehension or someone looking to punch up their skills. Very helpful for those with long commutes!

I'm glad to hear about those methods this audible
As of this listening, I am still working my way through this, listening to each lesson multiple times. But I can safely say that this is a very effective collection of conversational Spanish lessons. This is a very useful audiobook for those who really are ready to devote time to learn a Language.
