Tune Up Your Spanish:Top 10 Ways To Improve Your Spoken Spanish by Mary McVey Gill, Brenda Wegmann

blacklake's review against another edition

4.0

This is a unique Spanish textbook for people who already speak Spanish, but could use some hints on everyday usage and elucidations of the distinctions between similar phrases. It describes nuances of expressions that will, as advertised, "tune up" your Spanish, and is good at listing regional differences, which is especially helpful when you're speaking Spanish in a place like the US, where there you meet people from all over. The style of the first half is especially interesting, and makes it almost, as another reviewer put it, a "page turner", but it is useful throughout, even when it gets a bit bogged down in lists.
