Cuban Spanish – English Dictionary: DIccionario de Español de Cuba - Inglés
This third revised and updated new edition of the Cuban Spanish-English Dictionary includes more than 7,000 entry words and 3,000 phrases (idioms, proverbs and sayings), most of them unique to Cuban Spanish, as a result of the lexicalization of concrete economic, social and political events in the past and the present of this country. Some words and expressions are by now obsolete in the use of language in everyday life; however, they were included in this Dictionary considering the possibility of their appearance in movies and in works of the Cuban literature written and published in the past or even in the present. In every case the users will find either a direct English equivalent, or a translation into English that will help them to understand the meaning of the respective “Cubanismâ€.
