Spanish for Travellers and Surfers - EBook, book and CD

Plans to go to Latin America or Spain? Are you going to visit Machu Picchu or surf Chicama in Peru? Maybe catch some waves in Puerto Escondido, Mexico? Or perhaps in Mundaka, Spain? Well, before you go, make sure that you pick up your “Spanish for Travellers” book because there is a full page on vocabulary for surfers surfboards (can be essential when you need to ask where are the waves). Lourdes Flores who is a Spanish teacher and has been living in Australia for 15 years, has written a book that has been designed for the English speaking person who would like to learn the basics of Spanish so when travelling to either Spain or Latin America their journey will be more enjoyable. By using her book you will be able to communicate in different situations such as having a conversation on the beach, ordering drinks at the pub or going shopping just to name a few. Lourdes and Mark Riley – from Riley Balsa Surfboards - met in 1997 in Lima while Mark was surfing and doing some businesses. Mark was her very first Aussie student and he passed his test by ordering “Dos cervezas, por favor” at the cafe where they used to go after Spanish lessons. Lourdes says “My book is so much better than other ones around because after 15 years teaching my language, I know what travellers want and need to learn to survive while visiting a Spanish speaking country. There are plenty of options for Spanish travellers’ books. However, many of them are only phrase books and they do not have any grammar explanation or too much grammar that is complicated. My book is a combination of a text book and a phrase book. It has a basic grammar section with exercises and dialogues for many contexts and has been illustrated with colourful drawings and pictures. It is also small and light."
